«I found out who my real father was when I was 30, but Giorgio raised me as if I were his own son»

A Rudy Zerbi without masks was a guest of Silvia Toffanin at Verissimo. He has discarded the roles of the strict teacher who dresses amici very well to tell himself without a veil. The former Sony producer, now a regular guest on the Maurizio Costanzo Show, has a very special family: four children (all boys), from 3 different partners, and after 3 years «a frozen heart, maybe, but maybe something is happening . I won’t say it with other details because I’m superstitious. I’m starting to feel the butterflies again, let’s see how it ends». Rudy can’t say no to love.

Very true, the interview with Rudy Zerbi

But how does he manage to reconcile work and extended family? That’s what Silvia Toffanin is asking, but so are we mere mortals. “The wonderful joy is using all the time I have to bring them together so they stay together. We are a big extended family. Do you know what the main topic is these days? There is a new chat that is family dinners and lunches. I will spend Christmas on the train and bring parts of the family together. We decided that we will celebrate all together in Bologna, and then with a trip to Santa Maria Ligure to visit our grandmother ».

Rudy is a man who thinks highly of the family: «My mother is a female Rudy Zerbi, she still wants to teach me life today. For me even today at the age of 50 he still tells me the things that are said at 18 ».

The role of parents

A very delicate role for the feared professor of Maria De Filippi’s program is the role of parents, especially for him who has a very difficult past: «If you are in a very delicate situation as a child, then you are always at the Ball run to give them something you didn’t have. We all want to be the best father, mother, without realizing that our children really love us for who we are, imperfect”.

The discovery that changed his life

Rudy has had quite a painful history. At the age of 30, he learned that his biological father is Davide Mengacci, also a TV presenter. It was his mother Luciana Coi, suffering from a tumor that she feared losing her life for (which she defeated instead), and decided to reveal the truth to him by showing him Mengacci on TV. A shock to Zerbi that causes him to be unable to speak for 12 days. Father and son only met on March 3, 2001 at a party to which he had been invited by Mara Carfagna.

George’s memory

But today Rudy wanted to talk about Giorgio, the non-biological father who raised him “with the love and attention of a son of his own”. The reference is to George Ciana, “the man who had the strength to take two children who were not his own and raise them with love and attention as if they were his own”. He added: «I attach enormous value to this cause. Sometimes certain lessons, certain words, certain things that you don’t understand as a child or that hurt you, then you slowly understand them. Today I wish he could still tell me to think. But unfortunately it’s gone.”

The most important lessons he learned from the man were two: First, that “children belong to those who raise them, not to those who make them”. And further: «In these violent times it is easy to judge, to point the finger, to attack, even verbally, but I advise everyone, I learned it late, before judging, try to understand what is behind everything, what one sees, because there is a world and it is not an easy world».

Davide Mengacci the birth father

Gerry Scotti (guest in connection) confided in Rudy many background stories about the biological father: “He was always very sweet and attentive. Then I have to say something he didn’t say: He told me a lot of things that I didn’t experience about my biological father because they’ve been friends for many years. This thing immediately brought him very close to me, he is a true friend ».

Rudy’s 3 fathers

And if it’s true that the children belong to those who raise them, then let’s see for the Prof. they were particularly important Robert Zerbi and then George Ciana. The first is the man who raised him and recognized and gave him his last name after marrying his mother (who later will also have Stefano), while the other started taking care of him since he was three years old; Ciana, a hotelier from Santa Margherita Ligure, died in March 2018.
