Rita Pavone was one of the protagonists of Verissimo Story, the Verissimo column that airs on Sunday and which takes up some of the most beautiful interviews released to the talk show microphones. The artist revealed: “Sometimes I dream of my mother, but I dream more often of my father Giovanni. He was very strong, but, unlike Mom, he was very clear: she was a more nebulous person, he was direct. Dad and I had a beautiful and painful relationship, as he was against my marriage with Teddy Reno. Then, one day, when he came to visit us in Switzerland, he apologized for rowing at me. I was his child and for him I had to stay there, not grow up “.
Rita grew up in a large family, she had three brothers but the youngest, Cesare, passed away prematurely: “I never left him alone, not even for a minute, from when he got sick to when he died. He didn’t give a damn about anything or anyone anymore. It was important to me. It was a great pain, but it was still something that strengthened me. I did my best, I couldn’t do more “. The historical face of Italian music also spoke of his relationship with Brazil, stating: I have done many tours in South American country and when I came back after 30 years I found a sign at the airport that said ‘You are finally back home’.
Rita Pavone also told of the turbulent relationship with her father, when she was young she went away for work but met another woman so she decided to leave his wife and children and start a new life, at the time the singer had to give up many things, even to the United States of America: “I could not have done otherwise, as my father did not want to give me a housekeeper to follow me. The age of majority was 21 at the time, so I couldn’t do anything “. The life of the singer, in short, has not always been roses and flowers, among other things she was also struck by an illness that forced her to announce her retirement from the scene, then she too came back stronger than before her:
“You have to please yourself, not just others. It was 2016 when I announced my retirement because I had a difficult time in life. All this puts you in front of a situation that makes you understand that life is like this, that when it’s your turn it touches you. So I decided to go to Spain for five years. And then – continues Rita Pavone – I said why give up on something I love, so I got back on track with music “. Rita Pavone takes life as it comes, without illusions, enjoying it day by day: “Because for life it gives you beautiful things, but always balances the score ”, he explains. “The word happy scares me, I say serenity which is better ”.
