About life…

To fully understand the fundamental reason for Celentano's popularity, it is necessary to turn to some aspects of his biography. Many modern psychologists argue that a person's popularity is largely determined by the attitude of parents towards him, especially in childhood.

 

 

What can be said about Adriano and his loved ones? It is known that he was the youngest child in the family. When the future star was born (6 of January 1938 of the year), his mother, Juditte Celentano, was already 44 of the year.

This event took place in Milan, on the Italian holiday of laughter and joy. Although Adriano's parents, especially mom, were not laughing. Four years before this event, she lost her daughter Adriana due to illness. But because of this, she didn’t have especially hearted hopes for a safe birth.

 

 

But fate decreed that the child was born healthy and strong. And in his childhood he was unusually energetic, playful, pugnacious. Many neighbors in the district constantly complained to their parents about the “Provocateur” and the “Barefooted Earthquake” (that's what they called it). The child was constantly promised to punish, but parents never brought it to life.

The same was with school. Adriano constantly found many excuses not to visit her. Well, if he did come to the lessons, he would constantly talk with the teachers, he liked to be the center of attention among classmates.

 

 

Once an incident occurred, in 1943, during the bombing in Milan. On this day, Celentano again refused to get ready for school in the morning, and for some reason his mother did not insist on this. And later it became known that a bomb fell into the building of the educational institution and almost all the children died.

The main thing is parents

Most likely, huge self-confidence, courage, indefatigable energy and charisma of Celentano lies precisely in the love of parents to him! She also protects him from any misfortunes.

Relatives simply idolized him. Especially her mother, Judith is a kind, courageous, energetic woman. When the father, Leontino, died, they were left alone, as the older children already had their families and lived separately.

 

 

The future celebrity spent her childhood and adolescence in Milan, on the famous street named after the composer Gluck. And when the family had to move to another area, for Adriano it was a real tragedy.

Despite the harmonious relations in the family, they did not live richly. And when his father died, Adriano had to leave school and go to work. So he began to master the profession of watchmaker. It was this craft that the mother planned for her son to be engaged in all his life. But again, fate made its own adjustments.

Celentano literally fell in love with music and cinema. And it was on the set that he met his future wife, muse, beloved and loving woman - Claudia Mori.

About love…

The film "Some strange type" connected young hearts. And, although the girl was in no hurry to reciprocate the young man, he still insisted and won her heart! Charisma, kindness, courage helped Adriano in this.

 

 

He spoke his first declaration of love to Claudia Mori right from the stage at one of his concerts. The novel was stormy and unusually beautiful. The couple got married in 1964 in Grosseto.

Family couple have been together for 55 years! The wife is very similar in nature and type to the mother of Celentano. And with her he always had a warm and understanding relationship. It is Claudia who knows how to cook her husband’s favorite dishes or how to approach him in different situations.

About the music ...

Adriano was born and raised in a family where everyone loved music. But no one was going to make a career with this hobby, earn money, it becomes famous. Except Adriano.

The calm of the family ended happily when he was born. All home and neighbors listened at first to the infant songs of the future idol, and then to the real ones.

Adriano Celentano's adult love of music manifested itself precisely when the first album with Elvis Presley's album fell into his hands.

And the first fame came along with a competition for the best parody of a popular musician. Adriano parodied Louis Prima. And everything turned out so skillfully that the future singer, musician and actor woke up the next day popular in his native Milan.

 

 

Another Adriano hobby is rock and roll. His mother strongly supported his son in this, being present at all his speeches. And Celentano, in turn, constantly won all contests and festivals.

The popularity of the couple Celentano Mori brought another musical event. In 1970, the couple performed at the competition in San Remo with the song "Who does not work, does not make love" and became winners.
