Excited?
“But no, I’m calm. We organized everything at the last minute, but we had already planned it for June 26, 2020 in Franciacorta».
In full Covid.
“I had lost relatives to the virus. So we canceled and never thought about it again».
Until now. Indeed, tomorrow: September 9th.
“A random date, chosen simply because there was room in the church. We rushed, the participations sent to the last minute. Some of my friends won’t be able to come because they already had a concert scheduled.’
Fausto Leali?
“Yes. Also Annalisa Minetti. And then Sananda Maitreya (formerly Terence Trent D’Arby, ed). But the wife will be there.’
Luisa Corna smiles, but sips her words as she talks via video call about her imminent marriage to Stefano Giovino, lieutenant colonel at the helm of the Support Department of the Tuscania Carabinieri Parachute Regiment in Livorno. Fifteen years apart, she is 57, he is 42, they have been together for nine. If it wasn’t love at first sight, we were close: they met at an event for the 100th anniversary of the Red Cross in Palazzolo sull’Oglio, the singer’s town where they will get married, in the Sanctuary of the Madonna of Lourdes; a few months later they were already living together.
She also followed him in his transfers.
“We now live in Livorno, a beautiful city that I love. Before we were in Brindisi. As a good Sagittarius, I love to move and move around, except at the time of the move».
He already travels a lot of his own: he organizes evenings and concerts all over Italy.
“Yes, but usually I arrive, sing and leave. That’s not the right occasion to get to know our beautiful Italy in depth».
Has the age difference ever worried you?
«When I met him I thought about it: so years are not a few. But it was just a thought. The experience made me realize that there is no certainty in life and he instead became mine. His presence was so engaging and daily that age faded into the background».
He already had two children: today they are two teenagers aged 13 and 15. Was it difficult to fit in?
«Stefano immediately became my family and the presence of these two children that I had the pleasure of seeing grow up helped cement the relationship. They have their own mother, of course him, but it was nice for me to be able to become a reference figure».
Were you sorry not to have “yours”?
“We thought about it, but that thought never turned into desire. And in any case, the arrival of these boys has filled my life, they have ensured that I do not feel the emptiness of a motherhood».
Who is more jealous between her and Stefano?
‘He isn’t at all, so maybe I’m a little bit more. Even if he never gives me a reason to.’
She has done many things: actress, singer, model, TV presenter.
‘And the writer too. I published Tofu and the Magic of the Rainbow, a musical fairy tale for children. I’m already writing the second one. It’s therapeutic: it’s like becoming little again».
If you had to choose just one area, which would appeal to you the most?
‘Well, music is the absolute denominator of my life. I’ve always wanted to be a singer since I was a child when I sang at the oratory because of, or thanks to, father Lino, who played the guitar: around the age of 7-8 I had my very first performance with Romagna mia and they asked me for an encore. At 18 I started modeling, becoming independent, and I also started studying singing and acting seriously. Television has arrived at 33 years of age».
What did your parents do?
‘They both worked in my father’s company, which made cables and ropes for the building industry. He was sorry he couldn’t leave the business to me or to my sister, who is also a singer: she will be my best man. He has been missing for many years now, his name was Giacomo Giuseppe Corna. My regret is that I was unable to meet Stefano».
Who will walk her down the aisle?
«My mother, Pierina. And I’ll be in a white dress. Traditional». How many guests are there? “Not many, we were so late! Less than a hundred.’ And who will sing at the reception? «It will be a good jam session. I will certainly sing a song I wrote, Corner of Heaven, which is a bit of an open heart letter dedicated to my father and Stefano. For the rest, everyone will improvise».
