Dov'è la leggenda musicale e attore chiamato Adriano Celentano?

Andriano Celentano

“La mia vita a Roma, nei primi anni novanta come immigrato africano, è stato molto difficile, ma c'erano grandi attori cinematografici italiani e musicisti, come Adriano Celentano, Fantozzi, Lucio Dalla e Antonello Venitti, con potenziali grandi talenti, che mi ha semplificato la vita, perché mi piacciono.” – Joel Savage

Life is not easy, it is only a few who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth. 

In Rome, during the early nineties was something I can call a nightmare because I passed the nights in Rome's central train station for several days before I discovered an abandoned pasta factory called Pantanella to live among immigrants from various countries.

I am eager to learn since I love integration and the diversity of culture, therefore, I quickly enrolled in Italian language classes, operated by the Caritas and within the shortest time, I started writing and speaking Italian fluently.

Despite the impact of racism which took its toll on me, I met also good Italians that took my ability to speak the language to help me. One of them I always in my mind the Italian journalist, Claudio Lavazza, who was then working at RAI.

He had two daughters, one called Simona, and had a German shepherd dog called 'Fragola.' Fully integrated in Italy, I became more interested in Italian musicians and film actors. Frankly speaking, Italian film stars and musicians are beautiful like their food.

One of my favorite film actors was Andriano Celentano, ooh yes, that man has a double portion of talents. He wasn't only an actor but also a musician.

The popularity of Celentano is not limited to Italy, where he is one of the most successful and influential artists but the whole world. The talented and handsome man became a rising star from the bottom to dizzying professional heights.

You don't need to be an Italian to know Andriano because his films, comedies, and musical programs are shown in other countries under translations. The childhood story of Celentano is emotional and sad but he put all behind him to excel in life.

At a certain stage in his life, it became even more difficult after the death of his father, and Adriano left school to help his mother and began working as an assistant master in a watch workshop. I can never stop being proud of this man.

Another person, whose music was full of inspiration is Antonello Venditti. I can't remember how many times I listen to one of his great tunes called "Amici mai." I played over and over and never get tired till now. 

Antonello Veditti sings 'Amici mai.'

Italy, the beautiful country always full of tourists and delicious food, is now hard hit by the coronavirus but only a matter of time, Italy will become once again, the country whose language is beautiful as its food.

Lucio Dalla, another great Italian musician

I pray for the country, I pray for everyone, including Adriano Celentano, Antonello Venditti, Lucio Dalla, Zucchero, and all the great male and female artists I couldn't mention their names in this article.
