Valeria Marini was a guest on the episode of Storie di donne al bivio aired on Wednesday, August 28, on Rai 2. The showgirl explained that opening up is difficult for her, but she has no problems sharing her story with Monica Setta, the host of the program, with whom she shares a friendship. “I believe a lot in love; for me, love is the force that moves the world. Prince Charming exists,” Marini clarifies. And speaking of feelings, she recalls her youth flirt with Lorenzo Jovanotti.
Valeria Marini on Lorenzo Jovanotti: “Our relationship was very pure”
Monica Setta asks if it’s true that Lorenzo Jovanotti “taught her to kiss.” Valeria Marini responds: “It’s a stellar love; it’s an eternal love. I like him a lot. I saw him grow musically and witnessed how much passion he put into it. We were two strangers when we met in a club where he was DJing and I was the image girl.” The showgirl explains that their relationship was “very pure” and that she still appreciates the singer’s energy today: “He has faced many problems recently, sending a strong message.”
“My marriage to Cottone? A colossal mistake”
Valeria Marini has no doubts about the existence of Prince Charming. “I met someone, but for a series of work-related reasons, we drifted apart – reveals the showgirl – When I see him again, my heart races.” A completely different story with the man she married in 2013, entrepreneur Giovanni Cottone:
Khaby Lame: “I have always felt Italian. Many young people deserve citizenship as much as or more than I do”
The marriage was a colossal mistake. After that day, my life became a hell. We didn’t spend our wedding night together. It was as if someone tried to take my happiness away. The marriage was annulled by the Sacred Rota after four months.
Vittorio Cecchi Gori and Valeria Marini
“Vittorio Cecchi Gori won me over with his charm”
One of Valeria Marini’s great loves was Vittorio Cecchi Gori:
I met him at a time when everyone told me to run away. He found himself in a very difficult situation, but I had the strength to stand by him and help him. He deserved it. Even today we see each other; I went to his birthday. He has been going through a tough time.
Valeria Marini and Vittorio Cecchi Gori met during the David di Donatello awards, and it was his charm that captivated her. “He was a sunny person. The day after our meeting, he sent me a bouquet of flowers to invite me to dinner. He told me incredible things – Marini remembers – Love was born immediately. He was a man alone; he needed affection, and so did I.”
