Valeria Marini: Searching for Love Among Shadows

Valeria Marini today would like to fall in love. Perhaps with 'agent 007: a handsome, elegant, gallant, mysterious, and unpredictable man. I can remarry in the Church: let's make the most of it, right?'. A way to say that the great love for Valeria has yet to arrive. Her own words. Words spoken to Corriere della Sera. The one with Vittorio Cecchi Gori was. Overwhelming in every way. 'I found myself with a heart having to face things bigger than me, of which I had no experience, I was a girl'. Another great love was with the entrepreneur Patrick Baldassari. She mentions him directly. 'With him, love turned into friendship and this makes it eternal: for anything I am there for him and he is there for me'. A story ended due to distance, because Valeria suffered loneliness: 'I'm not saying that I have to be glued to the one I love, but I wish to share time and experiences'. Max Pezzali: 'Discos? There was a time when you went to court girls, now it's to take a photo to put on social media. We were more uncouth'. Valeria Marini, Private Life The first love, the star number one of Bagaglino, discovered it at 8 years old with a schoolmate in Cagliari. His name was Ilario Carboni. With him, she still remembers at Corsera, 'we also gave each other a nice kiss on the mouth, one of those passionate ones. I was quite precocious, maybe I needed affection...'. Then at 14 the first overwhelming and tumultuous love with Giovannino: 'he was almost 30 years old, I was 14. I was in love'. And she got pregnant. 'When I found out, my mom helped me. He was not very balanced, very possessive. I was really a child. (...) If I had been of age I might have kept that child. But I don't have a character for regrets, I always look forward. My mom gave me a second life, moving me away from a love that was not giving me happiness nor would it have. Sometimes, especially when you're so young, you have to trust those who love you. My mother took me back to Rome and she was right'. Federico Fashion Style returns with the 'Salon of Celebrities', a parade of VIPs at the party: from Flavia Vento to Anna Pettinelli and Nathalie Caldonazzo, here's who was there. The Story Among the men loved there was also Lorenzo Cherubini. Who was not yet the great Jovanotti. 'I was almost 19 years old, neither of us were famous. We met in a summer disco, where he was DJing and I was working as an image girl. He had not yet met Cecchetto, but he was already making everyone dream'. With Jova it was 'a pure love, it lasted about a year'. Valeria Marini tells Corriere della Sera that she has never stopped believing in Prince Charming even though 'it almost always happened to me to be approached by men with ulterior motives: they pretended to be in love, but they were only looking for visibility'. She does not want to talk about Eddy Siniscalchi, 20 years younger than her, nor about Giovanni Cottone, married in 2013. A marriage annulled shortly after by the Sacred Rota. 'For me he no longer exists, he has become transparent. Indeed, maybe he always was. He is Belfagor, a nightmare from which I woke up with the annulment. But after the deceptions come the revenges and I have not lost hope of getting married, of building a happy life and becoming a mother, in any way'. It could have been Gimmi Cangiano, the deputy of Brothers of Italy: 'I decided to distance myself: it was a delicate moment for him and I wanted to give him the opportunity to find balance in his family situation'. Many disappointments but no fault: 'But if they wear a mask what can I do? I don't have radar!'
