It’s rare that Fabio Caressa and Benedetta Parodi end up on the covers of gossip magazines. Among the few occasions when the couple let the cameras inside was a joke the hyenas organized by their daughter Matilde, a joke truly unforgettable because it shed light on the couple’s daily life for the first time. . But this time, the sports commentator decides to unbutton a little and share a little about his love for the TV host and author. A love that has lasted since 1999, more precisely since the first meeting that took place “in the canteen of Sky” and gave the world the three children Matilde, Diego, Eleonora.
Matilde, daughter of Benedetta Parodi, enters the world of entertainment: “I want to be a rock star”
Fabio can still remember the lunch in the canteen well. “Benedetta had blue nail polish on her hands, she was nice, crazy enough – confide in me today – shortly after I invited her to the cinema. She replied that she just wanted to see Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio, I killed myself. I left after a long alcoholic aperitif. I wanted to die halfway through, but I swore it was the best movie I’d ever seen.” But the best movie would start shortly thereafter, when the two of them would begin their fairy tale together, which he admits ” changed my life”. “I saw the darkness – she admits – well she made me see the light, I was convinced I always had to fight and fight, instead she taught me to smile, even to be optimistic.”

But in so many years never a hesitation, never a betrayal? “I’m monogamous, partly out of obvious physical limitations, partly out of shyness. I’ve only had long engagements except for the period before I got involved with Bene.” Although both have flaws that they’ve learned to reconcile over the years. He, for example, is chronically disorderly: “I was and remain the most disorderly man in the world, I would win the master of chaos. In the hotel in Beppe (Bergomi, editor’s note) I’ll make the suitcase shine.” In the middle of the room, which is uninhabitable for anyone but me. Almost every day I go to my wife in despair: “Well, help, I lost my wallet.” “Don’t worry, you put it somewhere.” Benedetta also has some weaknesses: “She can’t stand it when her things are touched If you move the charger, she’ll get insanely angry.” In short, the classic opposites that attract.
