Mina was one of the most loved singers of all time, but at a certain point she chose to retire from the scene. Here’s what happened to him.
The artist in fact made the history of Italian television in the 60s and 70s and managed to convey her talent to thousands of people. In a completely mysterious way, however, she suddenly decided to definitively abandon the scene and, from that moment, she never appeared on the small screen again. However, in 2001, Mina opened her own recording studio and published a video on the internet of herself recording live. Thus, fans were able to hear his voice without seeing it.
Many often wonder how the singer became today and what she does which made entire generations dream so much.
Who Mina is today and what she does: what is known
The singer has not appeared in public for more than 40 years, when she decided to move away from the world of television completely. Since then he has never even given interviews, choosing not to expose himself publicly or perform in public. His last concert dates back to 1978 in Viareggio and, after that performance, Mina canceled all subsequent concerts scheduled due to a viral bronchopneumonia that suddenly struck her. This episode was told by Gino Castaldo in a chapter of his book The novel of the Italian song.
“Mina’s disappearance, at that time, was something unthinkable”, wrote the journalist, “She was predestined, it seemed that being in front of the public was a natural condition, but no, that lovable ease was only an appearance“. Mina last appeared on TV in 1974, during his latest TV show Milleluci with Raffaella Carrà. Precisely on that occasion, the singer confessed that she had been ill and revealed to everyone that she would never sing again. Years have passed since those moments, and Mina has kept her promise: she has never crossed a stage or a television studio again.
Currently, what she doesn’t miss is the affection of her family, which has always been the most precious part of herself for her. The singer in fact lives in Lugano (Switzerland) together with her husband Eugenio Quaini. The two fell in love in the 1970s and theirs was a secret marriage which was celebrated in 2006. The two spouses also became grandparents of two splendid grandchildren, that is, the children of their first-born Massimiliano.
