Barbara De Rossi, the special relationship with Father Gilberto
Serena Bortone greeted the actress in her living room. Today is a different day Barbara de Rossiwith a very unusual tab: Father Gilberto, 91 years old, lives from home. Yes, because, as explained in the episode, there should have been a surprise that didn’t quite go according to plan: “When you called me – the man explained – I immediately contacted my daughter, there are so many scams and that’s why I trust I don’t”. The laughter of the presenter and the actress at the end of the story was really contagious and Gilberto De Rossi immediately proved to be an exceptional guest.
“My father is like that, it’s good for you, at his age you always have to be carefulBarbara explained amusedly, with much admiration from her father. “He was always jealous of me, he protected me, advised me, it was my shoulder and my brother and I his”. From the first beauty pageant to the first take, Gilberto was a thoughtful father, and if De Rossi felt it was oppressive then, she’s changed her mind today: “I felt controlled, now i am thankful that he was there and protected me, i was very young“.
“Find him a partner”: the last words of Barbara De Rossi’s mother
Barbara De Rossi lost her mother when she was only twenty-six and began acting in her first major roles: “I was fortunate to have a father with me and my mother entrusted him to me just before she died‘ the actress confided, revealing an unpublished anecdote about her past. “Mom said I should find a new partner for dad when she was gone. He knew it would hurt alone, and he wanted him to fall in love again.”
A beautiful thought that almost brought tears to the father, who listened in silence: “And so he met another woman, they were together for thirty-five years and we couldn’t be happier. He had two wives in his life.” Aside from the emotion, there was no shortage of laughs either as Gilberto revealed he’s still very jealous of his daughter. Meanwhile, Barbara De Rossi explained that she’s had her sentimental composure since eight years at the side of her partner Simone Fratini, whom she described as a present and capable person.
The memory of Gianni Minà: “He called everyone personally, not just the elderly”
Given the death yesterday of the great journalist Gianni Minà, Barbara De Rossi also wanted to share her moving memory with Serena Bortone: “We all learned from him, and he always knew how to convince you when he had to interview you. It was Gianni, e you could never say no to him“. Simona Ventura spoke very similar words in connection with the program for her personal farewell.
Not only that, De Rossi also wanted to underline another aspect of Minà that for her is synonymous with her greatness: “He personally called everyone for his programs, from the most famous to the less famous. He didn’t get others to call you when you were younger he gave everyone the same importance“. Gianni Minà died in Rome on March 27 after a brief heart condition.
