Adriano Celentano and Claudia Mori: 50 years together

On July 14, the most beautiful married couple in Italy, Adriano Celentano and Claudia Mori, celebrated their golden wedding - 50 years together.

They met in 1963 on the set of a film. At first, Celentano did not make any impression on the spectacular Italian. Adriano, hurt by the indifference of the beauty, began to win her by all means. After numerous attempts, the actors began a passionate romance. Very soon the couple got married. The lovers got married at 3 a.m. to get rid of the annoying paparazzi. Since then, the spouses have been together in sorrow and in joy. And they are still madly in love with each other. We invite you to look at the photos of happy anniversaries!

Interesting letters and 17 photos for clarity from here

1. They met in 1963 on the set of the film "A Strange Guy", where both were busy, and at first Celentano did not make any impression on the picky, self-aware Italian. Yes, she knew this name, heard his songs and watched the films in which he starred, but his stage image seemed too outrageous to a well-mannered girl.





2. Adriano, who was not used to refusals, tried by all means to interest the girl he liked, but all attempts to make a date with her were met with a cold polite refusal.



3. Everything, as always, was decided by chance. Through Claudia's fault, there was a short circuit in the film studio, the glass shade burst, and its fragments scratched the face of Celentano, who was at the scene at the wrong time. The girl ran up to the actor with apologies. Later, they had a nice conversation in a café, and an hour later they kissed passionately in the dressing room.



4. However, the Italian beauty resisted here too: the man for whom all the women of the world were crazy seemed to her unreliable. The filming of the film ended, and it seemed that their paths diverged forever, but the singer nevertheless persuaded Claudia to come to his concert, handing over a ticket in the front row. This flattered her, and she agreed. The concert ended with a very beautiful romantic ballad, after which Adriano... Mori publicly confessed his love!



5. She did not expect this. Appreciating his resourcefulness and attention - after all, Celentano chose her among his many fans - Claudia relented and graciously allowed herself to be invited on a first date. Their passion flared up like gunpowder. They talked on the phone for hours, met as often as the actor's tour schedule allowed, and then went to Paris, from where Claudia returned with a ring on her finger: they got engaged.



6. They got married on July 14, 1964. The wedding itself could become a scenario for a comedy. To get rid of the annoying paparazzi, the lovers got married at 3 am. The witnesses fell asleep on the move. The groom had a headache. Before entering the church, the couple quarreled - the bride did not like the tie of her future husband!



7. Celentano had a rather explosive character, and Mori, rightly reasoning that if she wanted to save her marriage, she had to put up with the annoying attention of numerous fans and colleagues from the world of cinema and music, decided to sacrifice her career on the altar of their marriage. She not only gave her husband three children - Rosita, Giacomo and Rosalind, but also became a support for Celentano in his work.



8. Now Claudia is an administrator, image-maker and even the director of the family record company Clan Celentano, which includes a group of highly qualified musicians, friends and like-minded people, which allowed her husband to no longer depend on producers and fashion requirements. As well as an excellent PR manager, who organizes scandalous promotions with invariable imagination.



9. For example, once photojournalists flew to the railway station in Brianza, having heard that Celentano himself was lying on the rails nearby, apparently trying to commit suicide. Soon, very "timely", Claudia appeared, who began to scold her husband, begging him to get off the rails. The whistle of the locomotive was already heard, the headlights blinded the audience, Claudia sobbed out loud... The actor got off the tracks at the last moment when the wheels of the train were only a few meters from his body. Immediately there was a stormy reconciliation of the spouses, which was captured on film by numerous representatives of the Italian media.



10. Another time, the actor created numerous traffic jams in the city center - and all because he, you see, needed to prepare for the filming of the most important scene in a new film, and he learned the dance right on the roadway. Needless to say, the premiere of the film was a resounding success - its producers did not even have to invest in advertising.



11. Adriano Celentano's victory in San Remo in 1970 is also a considerable merit of Claudia. She went on stage with her husband and, without taking her loving eyes off him, sang along with Adriano, gently holding his hand. The song, by the way, became a real hit for many years. It was called "Who Does Not Work, Does Not Make Love". Since then, for a whole decade, the Sanremo Song Festival has turned into a one-man show: Adriano Celentano.



12. For any Italian, women are like air, he cannot live without them. And in this sense, Celentano has always remained a true son of his people. And, by the way, it was Signora Ornella Muti, Adriano's partner in the film "The Taming of the Shrew", who managed to do what many women who met on his life path could not. Ornella herself fell in love in earnest: for the sake of Celentano, she even divorced her husband, actor Allesio Orano, and expected the same from Celentano...



13. And he kept delaying the divorce, not daring to make a final break with his wife. And what about Claudia?.. As a wise woman and mother of three, she patiently waited for his return, pathetically repeating in interviews that "accidental infidelity is not a reason for separation at all. It is forgivable. And for a man, casual relationships are like a mechanic inspecting a new car." Well, her patience was rewarded: Adriano returned, and later publicly apologized to his wife and children for this act.



14. Now the Celentano family lives 100 km from Milan in a cozy villa, at the entrance to which there is a fountain washing the statue of Claudia Mori with jets.

The 20-room villa, furnished with luxury in the spirit of Hollywood of the 1920s, is called by different names: a farm, a bungalow, even a bunker. When the children were small, there was a petting corner: rabbits, chickens, birds. Now there are large stables - Adriano is fond of horseback riding - and a spacious tennis court.



15. The couple has three adult children - Rosita, Samuele and Giacomo, a luxurious villa and almost unclouded happiness, which is tempered by long years of marriage. They dislike noisy parties and, one might say, lead the life of recluses. And Claudia still loves her husband for the reason she voiced many years ago: "I have never met anyone more interesting than Celentano in my life..."



16. In recent years, the daring, charming Celentano has repeatedly admitted to reporters that, despite a difficult life full of gossip and rumors, his heart has always belonged to one woman - Claudia Mori. Brilliant, charming, desirable. And to prove these words to each guest, on a personal invitation to the celebration dedicated to the 40th anniversary of their wedding, Celentano wrote with his own hand: "And today we still love each other."



17. There are 50 years between these photos, and the spouses are still tender to each other!
