It took talent to get old without becoming an adult.
Ornella Vanoni, 86 years old, he goes back to where he is at home. The Sanremo stage. He has been there as a singer in the competition eleven times, as a guest three more. The latest, last year. But now Ornella returns to an Ariston where everything is different. In between, we know, there was (and continues to be) the pandemic. That Covid-19 that took her too. He took her to the hospital, a hospitalization, fortunately resolved shortly. “Covid has left me, I am reborn,” he said a few months ago.
Before returning to the music.
A new album, but not a best of, as often happens in the second half of an extraordinary career. Ornella still wants to amaze, to be amazed. So here she is again with an album of unreleased songs, Only. Like her. “There are two ways to grow old: by laughing at yourself or by taking yourself seriously. If you choose the second way, you live badly. That is a bad old age and instead a good old age is laughing at oneself, at one’s own collapses, at one’s wrinkles, ”he recently told Walter Veltroni. Only the last of his many “lessons”. The others are (always) worth remembering.
MEN
“In love I was restless and I suffered a lot, but I never fought to keep a man close to me”
EGO
“Singing well at my age means getting rid of it. I don’t have the flaw of vanity, I never think about the mark I left, I don’t have the Vanoni myth ».
BETRAYALS
“I cheated, though, when a story was over. Over time I understood one thing: that if a woman, I talk to you about women because I know the soul of women, when she ends up with a man, to fill herself up again, she chooses to make love with another, that is a tragedy. You should never try to get out of a romance by making love to another person. It’s even worse, it’s better to wait. ‘
DEPRESSION
“Now it doesn’t happen to me anymore. I get sad, I can cry for twelve hours. Depression is something else. It is a terrible disease ».
MONOGAMY
“It depends on curiosity. If you are curious and sensual, monogamy lasts for a few years and then doesn’t last anymore. Monogamy is difficult. My stories have always been short-lived ».
DEATH
«We are hanging by a thread, it can happen to anyone, at any moment. We must try to carve out some inner serenity. When I think of death I think of the sea. Because the sea takes you away ».
Grudge
“I had one last love affair with an ungrateful who hurt me. Now I’m happily alone, but a bit of annoyance, when I think about it, I still have it. If that goes under a tram maybe I’m sorry, but better “
FORESIGHT
“In a sad and neurotic time, only laughter will save us. In this world of shit, laughing is the most precious thing we have left. “
