The childhood and youth of the beautiful Claudia
Claudia Mori (the photo in her youth proves this) was a beauty. She was born during the Second World War in the capital of Italy, Rome, on February 12, 1944, where she spent her childhood. At birth, the girl was given the name Claudia Moroni. As a child, she was interested in music, and in her youth she tried herself as a singer.
Classmates remember her as a positive, friendly and open girl.
In 1958, a newspaper publishing house held a beauty photo contest between readers, and a young beauty took part in it.
Mori won the main prize, and her photographs were seen by director R. Matrazzo, who at that time was looking for an actress to star in his film. And at the age of 15, the young lady was given the main role in the film “Cesarella”. The girl spent her youth on the stage of theater and film sets. In her youth, Claudia was short in stature with an attractive appearance and a beautiful voice timbre.
During these years, the girl became famous as a singer in musicals, but also attracted attention with film roles. She got a role in one of the famous films by L. Visconti called “Rocco and His Brothers” and in the film “Sodom and Gomorrah” by the American film director R. Aldrich.
Acquaintance
Everyone knows the comedian and singer with an amazingly lively voice, but only true fans know the name of Adriano Celentano’s wife. The actor met the beautiful girl Claudia Mori in 1963 on the set of “Some Strange Guy.” In this film they played lovers and made a harmonious stage couple. Before this, the actress managed to star in the episode “Rocco and His Brothers” with Alain Delon, she had concert programs in the capital and tours in France.
According to Claudia, she immediately liked Adriano, but rumors forced her to be cautious. Indeed, Celentano, despite his peculiar appearance, was a resounding success with girls. His energy and temperament captivated him with the intensity and romance of his hooligan image. Until the end of filming, Mori refused persistent invitations to go on a date and tried to stay away from her lover.
Meet Adriano Celentano
Showing great promise in cinema, Claudia had every chance to reach the Olympus of fame if she had not met a person on her way who had a fateful significance for her. The beauty was invited to play the main role in the film “A Certain Strange Guy,” and her partner was Adriano Celentano, who was just beginning to gain popularity. The young lady immediately did not like the artist.
He had an intrusiveness and a unique, repulsive manner. Adriano tried to look after the girl, gave her compliments and invited her on dates, but in all respects she did not consider him as a groom.
Claudia was always surrounded by countless attractive gentlemen. His peculiar appearance reminded her of a monkey, and his restless disposition and reputation as a seducer and bully prompted her to stay away from him. At that moment, the actor was dating a young lady named M. Cantu, who had no idea that he would soon leave her for another passion.
Further events were decided by chance. During the filming of one of the last fragments, Mori, who was playing the child's mother temperamentally, overturned a vase and water spilled onto the exposed wiring. An electrical short circuit occurred, which caused the lampshade to rupture.
The fragments of the lampshade injured Adriano's face, causing scratches on his forehead and face. The girl felt guilty and rushed to the artist to apologize and wipe away the blood, and immediately received an offer to go to the nearest cafe for a cup of coffee. The embarrassed young lady agreed to make amends.
This meeting ended with several kisses, and after filming ended the couple stopped seeing each other. Then Celentano began to tour with concerts, and Claudia was not particularly interested in continuing the relationship.
The feelings that flared up for the beauty did not give the man peace , which was not typical for him. One day he sent her an invitation to his concert. The singer ended his performance with a beautiful romantic song and a declaration of love for the invited girl from the stage.
Wedding of Celentano and Mori
Claudia Mori (photos below show the wedding celebration) got engaged to Adriano in Paris. On July 14, 1964, the couple was married in Grosseto in the Church of San Francesco. In order not to put their private wedding on public display and to prevent reporters from interfering, they got married at night at 3 o’clock.
Only a few close friends attended the wedding. During the ceremony, the witnesses almost dozed off on the spot, the future husband had a headache, and the bride did not like the newlywed’s tie, and they quarreled for the first time.
After the wedding procedure, the newlyweds took off their wedding rings and did not put them on again. They considered this ancient tradition a bourgeois relic. Some time later, while on tour in Moscow, Celentano admitted that for him A. Gardner was considered a model of female beauty, and Mori was similar to her, but even more beautiful. And that's why he married her.
First confession
The ice was broken while working on the painting. While filming the final scenes, Claudia, as the child's mother, became so angry on set that she knocked over a glass of water onto the wires. As a result, a short circuit occurred and the ceiling exploded, scratching Celentano's face with fragments. The actress rushed to wipe off the blood and apologize, and eventually accepted an invitation to drink coffee at a nearby cafe.
After the premiere of the film, they did not meet for some time, but one day Claudia received an invitation to Adriano’s concert. Suspecting nothing, the girl goes to listen to a popular singer. The finale features a love ballad and a public declaration of romantic feelings. From that moment on, their romance unfolded in full force, and a few months later (July 14, 1964) they got married in Paris.
Husband and family instead of career
After the wedding, the young wife, knowing the unrestrained and restless temper of her husband, as well as observing the hordes of his fans, decided to sacrifice her life for the career of her outstanding husband Adriano. Supporting her life partner in all his undertakings, Claudia acts as his lawyer, leader and image maker.
She came up with a stage image for him, expressing a hooligan dressed in extravagant outfits. The inventive wife visited all the local markets to buy extravagant suits for her husband. The look of a stylish hooligan was popular. In 1970, at a song festival in San Remo, a woman held her husband’s hand and sang along with him, and his composition brought victory and success to the singer.
Claudia Mori invented various ways to attract the interest of the public and paparazzi to Celentano , and he always followed his wife’s inventions, turning the marriage into a mutually beneficial partnership.
One day Adriano lay down on the railway track near his house, trying to take his own life. At this time, Claudia informed everyone about the actor’s intentions, and correspondents and journalists gathered near him. She herself came last, and began to scold her husband with the last words and persuaded him to leave the rails.
The man left the railway embankment literally before the arrival of the train, and the reconciliation of the couple was captured by all the news publishers involved. A little later, reporters discovered that this situation had been arranged in advance, and the next film with the artist’s participation brought unprecedented success.
The next time, Mori hinted to the press that her husband was blocking traffic on a busy street. Journalists arrived at the indicated place and saw the artist dancing in the center of the roadway. He, in turn, said that he was rehearsing an episode for a new film. And this circumstance brought his next film unprecedented success.
Children
Claudia Mori gave birth to 3 children to her husband in her youth, and all the time she put their photos in his pocket, as if by accident, to attract attention on the set.
A year after the wedding, the wife gave birth to a daughter, Rosita, a year later she gave birth to a son, Giacomo, and in 1968, their youngest child, daughter Rosalinda, was born.
Claudia Mori became a wonderful mother and wife. All the children also followed a creative path, although Celentano was not enthusiastic about a stage career, fearing that his success would overshadow the children’s talents. The eldest Rosita had a successful film debut in her childhood, but later she devoted herself to television activities.
In 1994, the girl tested her strength as a singer and recorded a music album.
In addition, the woman is involved in charity work. Her younger sister Rosalind was inspired by cinematic creativity. Her most significant film work is the role of the Prince of Darkness in the feature film “The Passion of the Christ.” Now the couple's daughter is interested in painting.
Giacomo showed his creative abilities in cinema and as a designer. In 2004, his son Samuele was born. Claudia supported and helped her children in everything. They all tried to be like their famous parents and worked hard to become worthy of them.
Difficulties of family life
Claudia's wisdom and resilience gave her the opportunity to save her marriage. Indeed, throughout their family life, the couple not only tasted family joys, but also coped with difficulties.
Despite his wife and 3 children, the actor was not known for his fidelity. He liked female attention and sometimes had affairs on the side. In 1980, on the set of the film “The Taming of the Shrew,” the artist became seriously interested in Ornella Muti.
For her part, she even divorced her husband, expecting the same step from Adriano. But he was in no hurry to leave his own family, and after living separately from them for some time, he publicly repented and returned to his family.
The woman tolerated and did not attach importance to many of her husband’s misdeeds. One day Claudia could not stand it and left for a small settlement 800 km away. from Rome. Her husband could not last long without his beloved and gave her a love letter of 32 pages. As a result, Claudia, unable to resist this step, returned home.
Balanced and prudent Claudia did not create public scandals and did not humiliate her husband in the press. She tried to laugh it off and endure, which brought her victory.
Betrayal and return
The only time this idyll was broken was Celentano’s passion for the actress Ornella Muti. On the set of The Taming of the Shrew, their romance flared up unexpectedly and strongly. So much so that Senora Muti divorces her husband (actor Allesio Orano) and moves into a rented apartment with Celentano. Together they make another film, “Crazy in Love,” and then their paths diverge.
The official wife of Adriano Celentano played a big role in returning her husband under the family roof. Feeling that she might lose her loved one forever, she gives a witty interview. Where he says that this is not treason, but a “technical test” of a real man. It was after such a statement that Celentano returned to the family and publicly apologized to Claudia. In 2014, the married couple Celentano and Mori celebrated 50 years of marriage.
Career
Claudia Mori (the photo in her youth is a clear example of this) looked very charming and attractive. Her appearance and charm influenced her artistic career. In her younger years, the girl’s career began with performances in music halls. Performing a number together with her husband at a song competition in San Remo brought them victory.
At the beginning of her family life, Claudia showed herself as a PR manager. She invents unique advertising actions to consistently maintain interest in her husband’s activities among representatives of the mass media and ordinary audiences.
Either the couple acts out the episode of Adriano's suicide on the railway tracks, then while Celentano is in the hospital, reporters learn about his premature death. These original methods kept his popularity at the proper height, despite the fact that the actor always had many fans.
At 43 years old, she acts as a producer for her husband. Claudia takes full responsibility for the development of the Clan Celentano label. In addition to organizational activities in finding musicians, developing a tour schedule, and recording the singer’s next music albums, Mori is also involved in legal matters and PR technologies.
In 1989, a woman skillfully built a defense during the trial on the issue of Adriano Celentano’s public speech in favor of a hunting ban. The story was closed, and the artist retained his personal reputation.
Musical compositions
The beginning of life together with Adriano was marked for Claudia by the start of her vocal career. In 1964, the performer released her first music disc, and 3 years later she and her husband toured with the track “The Most Beautiful Couple in the World.” In 1979, their joint hit gained popularity at the song festival, and in 1975 the actress was rated as the most successful Italian performer.
Famous authors write her compositions. P. Limiti creates the hit song "Good Evening Doctor", which was performed by Mori. Greatest Hits:
- Close the door.
- I will pray.
- If you love me.
- Will not be repeated.
- It won't be like this anymore.
- The sun went out.
- Thirty-story tree.
All tracks were presented at pop music competitions at the Sanremo festival, where Claudio was invited as a guest. In 1984, a song album was released, in which all the songs are marked by the authorship of Celentano. The husband's tune in many of the singer's hits harmoniously accompanies the sound of her own voice. The married couple was beautiful both in life and in their work.
Biography: Adriano Celentano and his wife Claudia Mori
Today, Adriano rarely acts in film and enjoys following the careers of his children. He and his wife live in the suburbs of Milan and rarely travel (Celentano is afraid of flying). The villa consists of 20 rooms, decorated in the style of old Hollywood. In the courtyard there is a fountain with a statue of Claudia, horses and a court. The calm, dignified life of the “Italian scoundrel” is similar to the ending of the fairy tale about Cinderella.
The couple rarely attends social events, only going to premieres of films where Rosita or Rosalinda and Giacomo participate. They don't like to give interviews. When asked by journalists about their life together, Adriano Celentano’s wife always answers the same thing: “I have never met anyone more interesting in my life...”
Filmography

| Name | Year of issue |

Her husband’s successful idea was the film “Yuppie-doo”, where Adriano filmed not only his wife, but also his own children. This project was highly praised at the Cannes Film Festival.
In the late 70s, Mori participated in film projects together with world celebrities (M. Mastroianni, R. Schneider, O. Hepburn and O. Sharif). They have the following names:
- A noble Venetian nicknamed “Striped Butt.”
- Like Cinderella.
- Pedigree.
She played her last cinematic role in the film Joan Lui, directed by her husband. This picture was watched by many viewers, although it is not considered successful because it looks heavy.

Currently, Claudia and her husband live away from the noisy metropolis in their own house in the city of Galbiate, which extends near the Monte Barro mountain. The couple decorated their mansion in the style of pre-war Hollywood. On the territory located near the house there is a fountain, which Adriano gave to his wife. It looks like a statue of the mistress of the house, which is washed by streams of water. The villa has a small stable and a tennis court.
In 2014, the couple celebrated their golden wedding, then the book “Two Fighters in Love” was published. This is a kind of diary in which a woman openly talks about all the happy and sad moments of her life together, accompanying them with a large number of family photos. They do not like interference from reporters and noisy feasts, and therefore all important events and dates are celebrated with family and friends.
Recently, the actor and singer claims that despite all the difficulties and many different gossips, his heart belonged only to his wife. Claudia states that she has never met anyone more interesting in her life than Celentano.
In 2020, Adriano, under the direction of his wife and working together with the singer Mina, recorded his new disc. The woman’s main interests are still managing the family business, as well as the affairs of her daughters and son.
Over time, their relationship became peaceful, passions subsided, scandals and public clarifications ceased. They feel comfortable in each other’s company, and the years they have lived together have only strengthened their marriage.
Despite her age, Claudia Mori still looks no worse than in her youth (photos will help verify this). And a significant role in this was played by the successful and strong union of two Italian actors, who were able to maintain it until the golden wedding. Having sacrificed her own career, a woman loves and protects her husband to this day.
Three children
In Italy it is common to have a large family. Adriano Celentano did not deviate from this tradition. Wife, children - the happiest marriage. Rosalinda was born in 1968 in Rome. She is an actress whose filmography includes more than 25 films, and “The Passion of the Christ” is considered her best work. Rosita (or Rosita, born in 1965) is also an actress, has 4 full-length films and one TV series. The only son also became an actor and singer. Born between sisters in 1966, he writes his own songs and performs them under the pseudonym Gabriele. Adriano Celentano's wife, Claudia Mori, dissuaded her son from becoming a singer. Only when the first disc “Fast Music” went on sale, she agreed not only with Giacomo’s profession, but also began producing.
Adriano himself was from the very beginning against the creative career that his children chose. According to his son, he often said that his fame was so great that it would put pressure on them. But the desire to be like their beloved dad and prove that they are no worse makes the children of the famous actor work even harder and achieve success. And they don’t call him beloved for nothing. Despite his busy work schedule, Adriano Celentano’s main priorities were his family and his wife. Their house resembled a small zoo; the actor spent the whole weekend relaxing with his family.
