Sex, the factory, the convent, the young people he surrounds himself with. Orietta Berti to celebrate his eightieth birthday it’s said. On the Corriere della Sera a long interview signed by Chiara Maffioletti has come out, in which the singer spoke to future not skimping unedited passages of his life. Like her relationship with her husband Osvaldoil first and only man of his life. “When I did the series Those good girls” reveals, “Sandra Milo used to tell me about her very loving life, marveling that I had only had one man. What a pity, you don’t know what you’ve been missinghe had told me”, says Orietta Berti who has never felt the need to betray him, also because, he points out “I think it is a great effort hide the escapades: all those who do it seem to me to be 007s, what a commitment …”. The fact is that she has been happily married to Osvaldo for 56 years despite the fact that her grandmother told her, at the time, not to give him too much space because he was very thin : “I guess it’s not healthy”.

No regrets therefore, except that of having started being a singer to please my father without him seeing that I had succeeded. In fact, it was her father who made her study and brought her to various record companies, but he died too soon. “My mum was a practical woman, she managed the municipal weighbridge. She didn’t believe in this path, so she made me attend a course in stylists, given that in our area there was a boom in clothing houses. I thought that this would be the my life, only after a year George Calabreseno longer hearing from me, became interested and called the town bar, because we didn’t have a telephone”.autore-talent scout. The young Ornella explained to him that her mother no longer wanted her to do that job and the day after she was found in Cavriago and convinced her not to send her to the factory, where in the meantime she had found a job for her. “But my mom in town alone didn’t want me to stay, so they put me in a boarding house of nuns: I lived there for three months, returning home on Saturday and Sunday. Thanks to Calabrese’s stubbornness, they asked me to sing the songs in Italian Sister Smile. I didn’t want to be a nun but I accepted only because they told me that if I did they would make me sing a A record for the summer. However, Suor Sorriso’s songs were very successful, especially in Vatican“.

As for the young people, Orietta Berti is always listening to the proposals that come from them: they are the ones who push me to do different things: “The cover of my box set, Life is a movie, a boy from Bologna made it for me by putting my face in place of that of the Empress of Austria in Rubens’ painting. A young editor asked me to do the recipes bookothers I make with two blogger in the format A recipe with Orietta. And the guys from Reggio Calabria have asked to make some cell phone covers with my images”. With some he has also formed a good friendship. “Achilles Lauro he says to me: You never call me. He’s nice, he always sends me presents, recently his makeup line… I’ve used some of his too glow in the dark eyeshadows and then the glitter that never hurts on the eyes. Also Fedez he sent me his all colored glazesbeautiful, I dare to put them, like the pistachio green one, but mine Husband he tells me to take them off because I don’t have very long hands to show off”.
