Biography of Adriano Celentano
The day Adriano was born coincided with the cheerful Italian holiday of jokes and practical jokes, and, apparently, it is no coincidence that Celentano is gifted with an excellent sense of humor and can make anyone laugh. Adriano was a late child - his mother gave birth to him at forty-four, and he was the youngest, fifth heir in the family. In the northern suburbs of Milan, where the artist was born, his parents, poor peasants Giudita and Leonito, came from Apulia in search of work.

Four years before Adriano’s birth, one of his older sisters, who was only nine years old at the time of her death, passed away, and perhaps the family decided to move also so that nothing would remind them of this terrible grief. The move did not solve the problems - parents and children still lived in poverty, and since childhood Celentano did not shy away from any work.

It became even harder after the death of his father, and Adriano, in order to help his mother, dropped out of school and began working as an assistant master in a watch workshop. Despite his difficult childhood, Celentano never lost heart and, wherever he appeared, he always tried to make others laugh.
Although Adriano received punches from his mother more than once, he was her favorite, and she more than once said that her son should definitely become a singer, although in those days nothing foreshadowed Celentano’s musical career - he did not sing and was not interested in music at all.
Adriano received the first award in his biography in his youth after his older sister sent a photo of him in the image of the popular comedian Jerry Lewis to a look-alike competition, and he won.
Daughter of Adriano Celentano - Rosita Celentano
Rosita became the first child in the family, who, unfortunately, always lacked the attention of her parents.
But, despite frequent quarrels with her father, she still decided to follow his fate and connected her life with performing and filming. Rosita is now 53 years old and has no children.
Music
Despite the fact that Celentano did not intend to connect his biography with music, it happened naturally. When Adriano heard the song Rock Around the Clock in the film “School Jungle,” rock and roll settled in his heart forever, and Giudita’s mother, who adored old songs and sang them herself, also became interested in rock and turned on her son’s favorite songs every morning instead of an alarm clock .
Celentano in his youth
The first in Adriano Celentano’s creative biography was the group “Rock Boys”, in which he was not only a soloist, but also a songwriter. With the song “I'll tell you ciao” the group performed at a competition in Milan and won. The popularity of the group grew every year, winning more and more prizes at competitions and festivals, and in the sixtieth year the musician’s first album, “Adriano Celentano con Giulio Libano e la sua orchestra,” was released.
This event coincided with another - Adriano was drafted into the army, but even while in the ranks of the armed forces, he did not part with music. Having applied for permission from the Minister of Defense and received it, Celentano performed at the famous music festival in San Remo and took second place.
This was a real breakthrough in the creative biography of Adriano Celentano - the song with which he performed instantly became popular and in a short time was sold out in half a million copies. Success inspired the young performer, and he founded his own recording studio, Clan Celentano. One of the reasons for creating his own company was that the musician always knew how to count money and did not like to throw it away by paying for the recording of his compositions in other studios. Later, the company also included a concert agency, a publishing house, and a video recording studio.
The next performance in San Remo took place five years later, and again Celentano was a success - his autobiographical song “Il ragazzo della via Gluck” (“The Guy from Gluck Street”) immediately became a hit.
Since the creation of Clan Celentano, many albums have been released. Celentano collaborated fruitfully with famous composers and performers and toured extensively.
He also visited the Soviet Union - this was Adriano Celentano’s only visit to our country, which took place in 1987.
For the sake of musical creativity, the artist ended his cinematic career in the nineties and devoted himself entirely to music. Adriano Celentano's latest album, on which he worked together with singer Mina, was released in 2020.
In total, during his musical career, the artist recorded about forty albums with a total circulation of seventy million copies, and almost all of them immediately hit the top lines of the ratings, and one of them, Esco di Rado - E Parlo Ancora Meno, became platinum and sold a record number of copies. After the year two thousand, discs were released every two to three years, and the last one to date, “Le migliori,” was recorded in 2020.
Movie
The biography of Adriano Celentano has been associated with cinema since the late fifties - the artist appeared in several frames of the American film “Unhinged”, performing one of the songs. In 1960, Celentano starred in a small role in Fellini’s film La Dolce Vita. Five years later, Adriano starred in the parody film “Super Robbery in Milan”, in which he acted not only as an actor - this was Celentano’s first directorial work.
For several more years, the artist starred in episodes of mostly musical films, and they did not bring him popularity. The turning point in his biography was the lyrical film “Serafino”, in which Adriano was entrusted with playing the first serious role in his life, after which he received real recognition not only from the audience, but also from directors.
They flooded Celentano with offers - one or two films with Adriano’s participation were released every year. The film "Yuppie-doo", released in 1975, was entirely created by Celentano - he wrote the script and music for it, directed and played the main role. In addition, almost his entire family was involved in the film - the wife and three children of Adriano Celentano.
“Yuppie-doo” is a cry of pleasure. A cry of love between a woman and a man. But it is also a cry of regret for the violence of a woman and for the loss of a friend. This is a very naive film that will be interesting even twenty years from now,” the artist said about this film.
His children were delighted with this filming, which was just a game for them and was remembered for the rest of their lives. Viewers were especially willing to watch comedies with Celentano's participation and eagerly awaited the appearance of such new products at the box office.

A magnificent artist in the films “Bluff”, “Velvet Hands”, “The Taming of the Shrew”, which collected an astronomical amount at the box office. Many films featuring Celentano featured compositions performed by him, and this made them even more vivid and memorable.

The topics of conversation varied, including political news. In total, Celentano produced four such programs, which were a great success with viewers.
Personal life of Adriano Celentano
A bright, charming artist, surrounded by the attention of millions of fans, walked down the aisle just once and lived with a single woman for half a century. Adriano Celentano’s wife is an actress; he met her on the set of the film “Some Strange Guy.” She was only nineteen then, but she was already quite popular and did not attach any importance to this acquaintance - she didn’t even like the guy.

In addition, her heart was occupied then - Mori was dating a famous football player, and Adriano, whose appearance on the day they met was completely unpresentable, seemed to the actress a real ragamuffin. Celentano had to make a lot of efforts to change the girl’s opinion about herself for the better.
Claudia looked at Adriano with different eyes after she attended his concert - Celentano performed his songs so expressively and bewitchingly that Mori gave up and could not resist his declaration of love, sounded straight from the stage.
The wedding of the lovers was secret and took place in the town of Grosseto in the Church of St. Francis - the newlyweds, who did not want to attract excessive attention from the media to this important event, scheduled the ceremony for three hours after midnight.
Since then, Claudia has become the main woman in Adriano Celentano’s personal life, not only his faithful wife and mother of their three children, but also the artist’s image maker, as well as the director of their recording studio.

I would like to finish the article about the legendary Celentano with his catchphrase: “Don’t look for the ideal person. I'm home today."
Adriano Celentano's wife Claudia Mori
The actress is six years younger than her husband, and her real name is Claudia Moreno. Her creative path began in the music hall, and later Claudia began a cinematic career. After she became the wife of Adriano Celentano, Mori abandoned her own career, but sometimes appeared on stage with her husband, and their joint performance at the San Remo festival in 1970 was recognized as the best and brought Claudia well-deserved recognition - the audience enthusiastically admired an Italian woman singing along with her husband, not taking her loving eyes off him.

Before meeting Celentano, Mori starred in several films, performed on stage in Rome, toured France and was considered a promising artist.
Claudia was spoiled by male attention, so the persistent advances of her hooligan co-star in the film “Some Strange Guy,” who reminded her of a monkey, did not touch her heart - she even tried to stay away from the overly energetic Adriano, who, moreover, at that time had young woman.
The beauty changed her opinion about Celentano after an incident that occurred almost at the very end of the filming process - Mori accidentally spilled water on the electrical wiring, it shorted, causing the ceiling to explode, the fragments of which severely injured Adriano. Frightened Claudia rushed to wipe the blood from her partner’s face and apologize, and he invited the actress to a cafe as compensation.
Then there were several more dates that did not leave a noticeable mark on Adriano Celentano’s personal life, and after filming ended, the young people stopped dating altogether. However, Celentano could not get the girl out of his head and invited her to one of his concerts, which became significant in the personal lives of both and marked the beginning of a passionate romance.

The lovers often called each other, however, they only managed to see each other during breaks between tours and Adriano’s concerts. The engagement took place in Paris, where Celentano invited his beloved. Having become part of Adriano Celentano’s personal life, Claudia had to put up with not only his explosive character, but also the annoying attention of numerous fans.
For the sake of the family, the artist’s wife left her career and devoted herself to caring for her husband and their three children.
“It is her personal choice to devote herself completely to her husband. For mom, dad is like a son. For his sake, she is ready to make any sacrifice!” their daughter Rosalind shared her thoughts about her parents in an interview.
In addition, Claudia helps Adriano in his creative activities, being his administrator, director, and also a talented PR manager.
Adriano and his love Claudia
At first Adriano seemed strange to the beautiful Claudia.
He showed up to the set wearing a stained shirt, flip-flops and a guitar. It was then that the young people met.
Moreover, the charming artist still managed to win the beauty’s heart. At first, people could not even think that their relationship would be so serious. After all, Mori was the fiancée of a famous football player. The interesting thing is that at that time the girl was 19 years old.

Celentano always speaks positively about his wife. He considers her unique, charming and even ideal. He immediately realized that he would not meet anyone better. Celentano dedicated a song to his wife and declared his love from the stage. In 1964, the young people got married. Surprisingly, the day before the ceremony, the couple quarreled because Claudia didn’t like her future husband’s tie. However, the wedding still took place.
Romance of Adriano Celentano with Ornella Muti
With Ornella Muti, a charming Italian actress, Celentano starred in the comedies “The Taming of the Shrew” and “Madly in Love,” which became so popular that forty years after their release, they attract a huge audience and continue to appeal to viewers of different generations.
In the photo: Adriano Celentano and Ornella Muti
The actors played the passion so sincerely that the audience was sure that the same thing was happening between them in real life, and they were not mistaken.
Adriano, sincerely in love with his wife, could not resist Ornella’s charm, an affair broke out between them, which led to Muti leaving her husband, expecting that Celentano would also leave Claudia, but this did not happen - Adriano did not destroy his personal life for the sake of his mistress and returned to the family, sincerely repenting and asking for forgiveness from his wife and children.
This was the only known case when Celentano allowed his wife to doubt his fidelity, and Claudia showed feminine wisdom and forgave her husband, who could not resist Ornella’s love spells. For both, much more important than anything else were the two decades they lived together and the children of Adriano Celentano.
Turning meeting
The couple met back in 1963. It was the filming of the film “Some Strange Guy.” Claudia turned 19 years old. Before that, she had already sung in musicals, starred in two films and was a recognizable singer and actress. At that time, Celentano had been dating Milena Cantu for a long time, who was considered his fiancee.
But he fell in love with a promising beauty and soon married her. And if not for this meeting, Mori could have continued her path to Olympus of glory.

However, the girl did not like the actor and singer who was dialing at all at first. She was repulsed by his manners and intrusiveness. But soon they began an affair that continued after filming. The couple got married in Grosseto in July 1964.
Adriano Celentano family
The world of show business leaves its mark on the lifestyle of artists, many of whom are not attached to their loved ones, but for Adriano Celentano, family has always been the most precious thing, although he had to see her much less than he would like.
In the photo: Adriano Celentano with children
He always tried to ensure that his daughters and son had everything they needed, and his concern concerned not only the material, but also the emotional side.
When Adriano was at home, he tried to spend as much time as possible with the children, played with them, and helped them with their homework.
Now Adriano Celentano’s family is not only his children and wife, but also his grandson, who was given to the singer by his son Giacomo.
Adriano Celentano's son - Giacomo Celentano
Giacomo Celentano became the only heir who gave his famous parents an heir, Samuele. Since childhood, the boy was crazy about music, but his father categorically forbade him to follow in his footsteps. Giacomo hid his works from Adriano for a long time and even performed at the competition under a pseudonym.
His singing career was hampered by congenital pulmonary insufficiency, which prevented Giacomo from singing. Now the descendant of the famous Celentano devotes all his free time to working as an actor and raising his little son.

The artist and his wife have three children - two daughters and a son, and they all followed in the footsteps of their parents, connecting their lives with show business. The eldest daughter of Adriano Celentano, born in 1965, began acting in her youth and even played several leading roles; later Rosita began to sing, and this experience turned out to be successful, she even recorded several songs with her famous father.

However, she achieved great success on television as a TV presenter. It is not known how her personal life turned out, but Rosita did not give grandchildren to her parents, with whom she now has a very warm relationship.

As much as Rosita was an exemplary daughter, her sister Rosalinda caused trouble for Adriano and Claudia. When she turned eighteen, she left home, shaved her hair and spent six months wandering around with people of dubious lifestyle.
“As I already said, my mother is quite authoritarian... And it was very difficult. One day I felt that I needed more personal space. I wanted to do art, but my parents were against it,” says the artist’s daughter.
Having had enough of “freedom”, Rosalinda returned to the family and began acting in films - the youngest daughter of Adriano Celentano can be seen in films such as “The Passion of the Christ” in the role of Satan, which brought Rosalinda Celentano world fame, “The Sweet Noise of Life”, in which she starred in a supporting role, becoming a nominee for the David di Donatello Award.

In recent years, she has not performed on stage, but continues to make music, but most of all she enjoys acting in films.
“Cinema has taken up the most time in recent years. I like to try myself in different roles, to play other people’s lives,” says the daughter of Adriano Celentano.
In addition, Rosalind is known as a vocalist and artist. And now she continues to paint pictures that have been at exhibitions not only in Italy, but also in other countries, including Russia.
From the scandalous details of her personal life, it is known that for a long time she struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, and at the age of thirty-six she tried to take her own life by swallowing pills and washing them down with alcohol; fortunately, the doctors made it in time and saved the artist’s daughter. At one time, Rosalind was diagnosed with cancer and had her uterus removed, and this only added to the woman’s worries.
She was credited with same-sex relationships, and several years ago rumors appeared in the media that the daughter of a famous performer was going to tie the knot with her close friend, actress Simone Borioni. Rosalinda's parents accepted this decision for their daughter, although it cost Adriano and Claudio a lot of bitter experiences. Adriano Celentano's wife shared her concerns about this in an interview.
“Her sexuality is not a disease or a mistake. If I could give advice to other parents, I would say not to leave your children alone,” Claudia said.
Of all the children of Adriano Celentano, only his son made him a grandfather, giving him his grandson Samuel.

Giacomo became a singer, and although he could not surpass his father, he also achieved some success in this type of creativity.
“I do not suffer from the shadow of my father’s glory, first of all, because I do not compete with him and do not chase success. There are advantages and disadvantages to being the son of Adriano Celentano. But in the end, I am always responsible for my own talent,” says Giacomo.
In Italy he is known under the stage name Giacomo Gabriele, under which he performs on stage and records music. The singer's son also works in television as an editor and producer. Giacomo is happy in his personal life - he married a girl named Katya, who bore him a son.
Children of Celentano
Adriano never had anything against children. Moreover, after meeting his future wife, he wanted to become a father. Three children were born in the marriage. The girls were named Rosalind and Rosita. The son received the name Giacomo. It is known that the heirs decided to repeat the success of their parents. Giacomo and Rosita decided to become musicians. As for Rosalind, she tried her hand at cinema.
Rosita is now 54 years old. She looks like her mother.

Giacomo is currently 53 years old. He not only writes music, but also acts in films. By the way, he is quite good at attracting people to him. At the same time, the man eventually realized that he did not want to become famous. Rosalind is now 51 years old. She played the role of Satan in the film “The Passion of the Christ.”
The girl decided not only to act in films, but also to draw. According to critics, she does it well. We can definitely say that Celentano has talented children. They are completely different, but unique in their own way.

In 2006, Celentano finally became a grandfather. The grandson was given to him by his son Giacomo. The boy was named Samuele.
In 2020, the couple celebrated their anniversary. 55 years have passed since the wedding. The period is not short, and now it’s hard to believe that so much time has passed since then. Celentano lives with his wife in a villa in Galbiate. They enjoy beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate.
Where does Adriano Celentano live now?
Six years ago, the couple celebrated their half-century anniversary of marriage. They invited many guests to their estate, located near Milan in the city of Brianz. “And today we still love each other,” the invitations read. Now the Celentano couple spends the bulk of their life on this estate, enjoying the silence and communication with each other.
In the center of the estate there is a fountain with a statue of Claudia installed in the middle, which Adriano never ceases to admire.
Family was always the most important thing for him; surrounded by loved ones, the artist felt harmony and peace. Long ago, when the children were small, Adriano arranged a real zoo for them in the villa, in which there were not only cats and dogs, but also a small giraffe, as well as horses, which his daughters and son loved to ride.

And now that they have become adults and separated, the couple lives alone, rejoicing every time the heirs come to visit them. In his free time, Adriano Celentano likes to play chess, tennis, and billiards. His hobbies include photography, as well as watch repair, which he mastered in his early childhood.
Celentano pays a lot of attention to social activities - and now he is considered one of the most active oppositionists, known for his harsh statements against the Italian government. Adriano is a member of the Five Star Movement, a party that supports direct democracy and condemns corruption.
