A few hours after the broadcast of the program in prime time All dreams keep flyinghe Daughter Of Massimo Ranieri, Christian Calone she had the opportunity to tell Chi about her life as a child without a father in an exclusive interview, since the father would only have recognized her later.
Cristiana Calone, in fact, is the daughter that Massimo Ranieri (whose real name is Giovanni Calone) had in 1970 when she was only 19 years old with frank sebastiani, who died of cancer in 2015. The woman, now 53, is like her father an established singer, though she certainly can’t boast the same level of fame. Although Ranieri would have publicly recognized her on television only in 2007, Calone does not seem to show much rancor.
“I wish I had a dad”
Of course, women have always lacked an important father figure, so obviously the memory of their youth is not exactly the most positive. Speaking about her early life without her father, the singer commented:
“When I was born I wasn’t there, I couldn’t miss something I had never experienced. I don’t remember anything from that time. Then when I grew up, I wish I had a father too. I call him Gianni, I remember our first meeting, his purple tunic with embroidery. Then, around the age of ten, listening to my mom sing her songs and listening to her talk to her sister on the phone, I understood who dad was.
Even today, despite the past, Cristiana Calone seems to have somehow understood and internalized what happened to her in the past. By the way, in light of the career she’s managed to build herself, she doesn’t even need to “march” on her father’s name. According to her account, among other things, it seems that years ago she voluntarily chose to act with her father’s last name, but the lawyers for the Rose Rosse artist prevented her from doing so. By the way, she also added:
“Today I recognized myself as an artist, I don’t need to use my father’s name, because Massimo Ranieri is just him, I am another person. Now I have his last name in my heart, I don’t need him on stage.
A possible economic return, therefore, does not interest him at all. At the moment, what interests her the most is living off his greatest passion, music, although she wouldn’t mind, one day, having the opportunity to sing alongside his biological father. This is what he revealed about it:
“I never gave a damn about money, I certainly didn’t lead the life of daddy’s daughter. I had a bad time, I did everything from a waitress to a cubist, from a cleaning lady to a secretary. I have never asked for anything, I do not ask for help, I only ask God and Pope John Paul II.
When Ranieri introduced his daughter on television
Massimo Ranieri recognized the blood of his blood for the first time in courtin 1997. Later, the artist invited his daughter during his show all women except me, in which he dedicated them live The cure Of Franco Battiato. On that occasion, it was a truly unexpected surprise, and certainly appreciated by both the public and those directly involved. christina said:
“Obviously for him it was the right time, for me what counts is what he did. He has always been a reserved man who, on that occasion, made an important gesture, taking risks like he had never done before. He invited me to watch the show without anticipating me, who then, at a certain point, would have told me: ‘he knows my daughter.’ Even today I can’t find the words to describe that emotion. Until 2007 she was the daughter of Giovanni Calone only in my identity document, then I became one in all aspects ”.
