(Gianluca Maestri) This morning at 11 a.m. at the Church of Santa Maria Annunciata in via Montegani in Milan, the city where he lived, the funeral of Bruno Vescovo, an internationally known dancer who died during the night in his sleep died of cardiac arrest on December 31 at his home, aged 73.
At his express will, after cremation, his ashes will be buried in the Pandino Cemetery next to his mother Angelina Lualdi from Pandino.
If the younger ones aren’t familiar with the name Bruno Vescovo, the older ones will have heard of him. An icon especially for fans of the genre, Bruno Vescovo, an internationally renowned classical dancer, joined the corps de ballet of the Teatro alla Scala at the age of nineteen and quickly became its soloist and principal dancer. Since then she has embarked on a brilliant and intense career dancing countless classical and modern roles in the productions of the world’s greatest choreographers in theaters around the world.
On his mother’s side in Pandino he had cousins with whom he had excellent relations.
“Bruno – explains Giuseppe Donati, who was closest to him among his Pandino cousins – had arranged for his ashes to be taken to the Pandino cemetery. He cared a lot. He was connected to our country through kinship with us cousins. I like to remember him as a very good person, very simple and reserved. He told me how he was amazed when someone recognized him and how he was once stopped on the street by Yuri Chechi who, upon recognizing him, asked for his autograph.
