Giorgia blows out 50 candles. Happy, after life “kicked her”

«I don’t understand these 50, I’m stuck at 26, I still have to solve my teenage post issues. It’s a bit like being on a treadmill: you walk at a light pace but that takes you further than you thought you were, you look around and ask yourself: what about it? ». So Giorgia (Todrani), born in Rome on April 26, 1971, commented on the half-century milestone in an interview.

At the age of fifty, the singer realized that “even time is male chauvinist“:” We should change this idea that the man as he gets older becomes cool and the woman ugly, we should get used to looking at a face with wrinkles, because they are beautifulHe said in a recent interview.

His (small) wrinkles tell many things. A beauty that never sets, one long successful career (including the victory in Sanremo in 1995 with How would I know, the single Drops of memory soundtrack of the film by Ferzan Ozpetek The front window in 2003, the duet with Mina in 2007), but also the ability to putting together the pieces of a life destroyed by immense pain.

Almost twenty years have passed since the disappearance of her boyfriend Alex Baroni. It was April 13, 2002 when a car accident broke the life of the singer-songwriter. Giorgia still struggles to talk about it: “I’ve had a series of years of disarray, devastating years. It takes some time to retreat up a bit. I was helped by my friends and by twenty years of psychoanalysis », she told two years ago to very true. “His loss was a chasm in my life and that of his family. The night before he died he had left me a message on the phone which I had not answered. I kept this message for a long time, then it was erased from me… I think it was a sign ».

The love story between the two singers began in 1997 and ended shortly before Alex’s accident. “2002 changed everything. My way of being, of thinking: everything. We had broken up, but there were still many, too many things to say… I didn’t resign myself », revealed the singer in an interview with Vanity Fair. I would have liked to die too, with him ». Instead “Life kicks you and you don’t die”.

Giorgia’s heart started beating again when the dancer and choreographer entered her life Emmanuel Lo: «I absolutely didn’t want to. Emanuel had to tame me, he called me “crazy horse”. But he was eight years younger than me, I thought he would get tired, he would leave me“. They have since passed fifteen years.

And theirs was born eleven years ago eldest son Samuel. “Finally, after seven years of trying, it has arrived. I lived this lack with great sadness, but the moment I mentally gave up the idea of ​​becoming a mother, this wonderful blondie arrived ».

The circle has closed, and today, happy, Giorgia doesn’t need anything else, not even a wedding, despite one marriage proposal has arrived. «Many years ago Emanuel asked me to marry him and I also said yes. Then, however, if it is not the woman who organizes, the man does not, so it ended there ».
