Is the "a ti" needed or just for emphasis? Seems redundant to me.
In general "a ti" is used for emphasis.

However, the meaning of this particular sentence implies emphasis ("I love only you", or "The only one I love is you"), so perhaps in this context it sounds better with "a ti".

I wonder what our native speaker friends think?
