They had decided to get married some time ago, but then the pandemic ruined everything. Now the right time seems to have come: After 18 years of engagement, Laura Pausini has decided to marry her partner Paolo Carta. In fact, the marriage bans can be consulted on the website of the Municipalities of Rome, where he resides, and of Castel Bolognese, where she resides. No comments yet from the couple on social media and therefore the wedding date is not known which is said to be in a few more months. Rumors point to June before the singer embarks on her summer tour, perhaps in Solarolo, the Romagna town where she grew up. Paolo Carta, who turns 60 next year and is 10 older than her, has been through a marriage and three children. He was officially divorced in 2012. He is a guitarist and record producer and has collaborated with various big names in Italian songwriting. He has also collaborated with foreign artists of the caliber of Whitney Houston or Lionel Richie, mainly in a television context. Since 2005 he has not only been a partner, but also a guitarist with Pausini. The two had a daughter, Paola, in 2013. At the end of February, Pausini said to celebrate his 30-year professional life that he had “many surprises” in store for his fans, perhaps also alluding to the wedding. At that time she had been in New York, Madrid and Milan for three free live shows within 24 hours: not just a test of “physique, strength and voice” to remember the victory in Sanremo with La Solitudine 1993 and the many to remembering successes achieved by one side and the other Atlantic, but also a way of rewarding the “sacrifices” of the fans who have accompanied them all this time. That was just the first date of 2023: five years after her last tour, between June and July the singer returns to the squares and stadiums of the world with Anteprima, to St. Mark’s Square in Venice and the Plaza De España in Seville.
