Romina Power blows out seventy candles. Born in Los Angeles on October 2, 1951, daughter of Tyrone Power and Linda Christian, the singer and actress remains forever linked in the collective imagination to the love story lived with Al Bano Carrisi. It was the July 26, 1970 when the two swore eternal love during a ceremony that marked the beginning of one of the most media-based love stories of all time. A marriage marked by musical successes (it was 1982 when they came second in Sanremo with Happiness), with four children – Ylenia, Yari, Christel, Romina Jr. – to testify to the joy of the home.
The fable of the “lovers of Italy” broke abruptly when the eldest daughter Ylenia mysteriously disappeared between December 31, 1993 and January 1, 1994 in New Orleans. That drama marks the beginning of a crisis from which the two will never return. Al Bano fatalistically accepts the (alleged) death of his daughter, while Romina persists in the search. Years of misunderstanding followed, press quarrels, retaliation, spite. In 1999 arrives like this the break up legal (made official in 2012 in Brindisi), after more than 29 years of marriage.
Since then, despite Al Bano has rebuilt a life (between ups and downs) with Loredana Lecciso from which he got two sons, fans of the “most beautiful couple in the world” have never stopped dreaming of the reunion. Especially when the two they returned to the stage together, as happened in 2013 on the occasion of concerts in Moscow, in 2015 at the Verona Arena or last July on TV for the Raiuno program A voice for Padre Pio.
Today, according to the gossip, between the two would have fallen again the frost. Despite recent family joy – the daughter Cristel a few days ago gave birth to her third child, making them grandparents again – it seems that Al Bano and Romina no longer talk to each other. True? False? Until a few months ago there was no trace of the return of hostility. Last May, for the 78 years of Al Bano, Romina shared a beautiful white photo from many years ago that portrayed them holding hands. At the time they were one of the most beautiful couples on the Italian music scene. AND holding hand in hand made millions of fans dream.
The love story has been broken for many years, but the memories remain: “At first I was very shy, Al Bano taught me many things: to be on stage, to sing, even to drive the car, to fish.», Romina told last June guest of Serena Bortone a Today is another day. The year before, on the occasion of what would have been their fiftieth wedding anniversary, Power had declared in an interview: «If we had not fallen in love, we would not have written songs and sung together. When we leave our bodies, the songs will remain».
In Romina’s life, after Al Bano, another great love has not arrived. However, she doesn’t stop looking for him: “I hope I don’t end my love life aloneHe said last June to Today is another day. Also revealing the requirements he is looking for in a possible new partner: “He doesn’t have to be jealous. I wish he were smart at least, beauty is not important, which is relative and subjective. And, most importantly, theor I would like very nice. What if there is now someone who comes close to the description? No, not at all! », He admitted laughing. Who knows if for her 70th birthday life will give her that new love she has been waiting for since 1999.
