Gianna Nannini: "I'm going to London and marry Carla!"
It is one of the very rare times in which Italy's most loved rocker opens to the public, known for her introversion and the discretion with which she has always treated the most intimate and private matters. Yet now she has decided to share a decidedly important choice: the move to London to marry his partner, Carla, and make the stepchild adopt for his daughter Penelope, every 7 years.
It is one of the very rare times in which Italy's most beloved rocker opens to the public, known for her introversion and the discretion with which she has always treated the most intimate and private matters. Yet now she has decided to share a decidedly important choice: the move to London to marry his partner, Carla, and make the stepchild adopt for his daughter Penelope, now 7 years old.
"I pack my bags and look for a rented house in London to live in. I'm moving there with Carla and Penelope. There are no laws in Italy that guarantee me what would happen to Penelope if I went to heaven. So I'm off to heaven. this country, England, where my human rights as a mother are respected, and where I've also been recording my records for thirty years. I have a civil union with Carla and stepchild adoption, because now this is the only real core family member I can trust ", these are the words of the Sienese singer who with the story of herself also brings to the fore the delicate issue of safeguarding civil rights, a rather difficult issue for Italian culture.

"I chose to live here because my daughter Penelope grows up without preconceptions", declares Gianna, a lover of freedom and allergic to preconceived conventions and schemes who has always tried to fight with her music, from the very beginning. "I thought I'd give her guarantees and respect", continues Gianna, "Then there weren't even civil unions, let alone stepchild adoption". A firm choice and full of pride that of Nannini, who however remains veiled by a slight melancholy, due to the need to go elsewhere to achieve full and shared happiness.
