Giovanna and Amadeus: from the couple profile to the «relay» in Sanremo 2021

Amadeus, 58, e Giovanna Civitillo, 43, when they got together, no one would have bet on duration. “The usual story,” they murmured: the conductor “losing his head” for the dancer. Almost twenty years later, «Ama» and Giovanna are an inseparable couple. Love at first sight on TV (at least for him), marriage (first civil then religious), a son (José Alberto). But only this would be enough to prove it: on social networks the conductor and the former dancer are present with a single profile (@giovanna_e_amadeus). «Giovanna and Amadeus, the only official Instagram page», we read.

The love between the two was born thanks to the program in which she performed the famous “shock”, and he was the host. The conductor saw it and was thunderstruck. «The story was not born immediately, I made him suffer. I thought: Never with a conductor ”», she said instead. Also because it took him a long time to find the courage to come forward: «I’m shy, I was afraid of a no. So I sent her a note with the words “if you like, let’s have a coffee together”. At most, throw it in the trash, I thought. Instead he sent it back to me with the words “yes” ».

She was just twenty-five when they met. Amadeus was forty and separated by three. From his first marriage he had his daughter Alice: “I lived for the day, I didn’t think I would find great love“. Instead Giovanna arrived. On January 19, 2009, the two became parents of José Alberto, named in honor of José Mourinho, former coach of Inter, a team of which the conductor is a fan. The wedding arrived in July of the same year. Since then never a crack, never a gossip, «never a crisis. We don’t even fight, ”he confided last year. «Giovanna would marry her a thousand times».

And now if he is ready to return to the Ariston stage, host of the most complex edition ever, Giovanna opens the way for him. In fact, this year she is leading (together with Giovanni Vernia and Valeria Graci) the First Festival. Last year, however, de Life live. Inevitable and well fed the controversy. But he loves, he doesn’t even want to hear them. “Giovanna has been working for Rai since 1996, the sponsor wanted her and I was informed after the fact”, he said in an interview with Today, to then avoid any turn of phrase: «You told me: if I cause you problems, I give up. But why should he? We are surprised at the wife when we do not do it for the lovers ».
