In the end, the press releases were two, to reiterate that there is not much more in common now. “After twenty years together and three wonderful children, my marriage with Francesco is over”, her words. “A painful but inevitable choice,” those of him. Final whistle, everyone in the locker room, it’s no longer even extra time. The marriage between Francesco Totti and Ilary Blasi is over. Now even officially, while in private for who knows how long, we will never know. Certainly, for an infinite number of reasons – the children, the lawyers, the things to fix or, for the most romantic, the hope of mending – last March was not yet the right time to confirm it. So much so as to deny even the undeniable.
Now, however, that the end has been put in black and white, everyone is a little sorry. Totti and Ilary were our royal couple, the triumph of the most famous duo of the late 90s, which then manages to evolve. “But do you think about it? We are the footballer and the tissue, the most banal thing that exists today in Italy ». “So let’s make him special,” the captain’s prompt reply.
Ilary and Totti were our first weddings on live TV, the first of our dedications on the pitch, starting with that “6 unique” written on the shirt. And then the jokes, the jokes, his (fake?) Machismo (“anyway, when the old-fashioned guy argues with the modern girl, he always ends up winning the second “), her rising career. The names of the children and the painful chapter of the farewell to football, of the king of Rome who becomes fragile and of Ilary who stays by her side to defend him. Witty and accomplices, Ilary and Totti, so much so that even a family reality show comes to mind: «Casa Totti». We will never see it.
The saddest image, read in hindsight, remains one. A few weeks ago, the last episode of the Island of the Famous, the correspondent Alvin greets the host Ilary from Honduras. «Francesco is right, you are unique. I love you”, He says. And her eyes fill with tears. Curtain, end of transmission.
“If Totti and Ilary have left, what will become of us?” it is now read online. Nobody can tell. Even the fairy tales end, and that’s okay.
