Loves
“Love is the reason I live, sing and work,” he said, revealing however that he never managed to give stability to his love affairs, confessing that it was always the women in his life who left him. In defining himself, Ranieri spoke of his having always remained a bit of a child, distant from marriage but in need of affection. “I have suffered, perhaps I have made to suffer and this hurts me a lot. I live and sing love, for me it is fundamental. They have always left me, perhaps because we men are a little cowardly, we don’t have the courage to say it’s over. We don’t want to suffer that much. We don’t have the strength to say no. I’ve never come close to marriage. In me there is a John who remained a child, he needs cuddles, love. I am married to work. My admirers overwhelmed me with affection and love. But then the terrible thing is that when you go back to the hotel you are alone. I miss someone with whom to share anything ».

Loneliness
Today, loneliness is therefore sometimes a burden, which he balances thanks to the love of his only daughter, Cristiana, who made him a grandfather. But his relationship with her also bears signs, those linked to his absence in the past, since he recognized her late, after having denied paternity for years. «A daughter told me -. Cristiana has given me not only the thrill of being a father but also of becoming a grandfather. I’m sorry to have known her when she was already grown up. When she came into the world I could not immediately grasp the gift that life was offering me and I missed the magic of her childhood ”she wrote in her memoir“ All dreams still in flight ”. And in the broadcast he said: “They are wounds that do not heal beyond the daughter and my nephew, whom I adore.” Now, however, he wants to make up for lost time.
