“They should have warned me since he had been in the hospital for a month, or at least tell me he had died. I would have liked to know immediately, as it was right that it was and not from the condolences of the people“. These are the words spoken by Katia Ricciarelli to Verissimo during the interview with to talk about Pippo Baudoher ex -husband, who disappeared recently. The target of his criticism was not explicit but was clear to everyone immediately, also because always during the interview the soprano said that when he went to the burning room he has “Given the secretary who cried and asked her ‘why didn’t you telephoned me?’“.
The response of the historic secretary of Baudo is not known, Dina Minnawhich discreetly was next to him for decades and also in the last (difficult) chapter of his life. But it is known that the woman has warned Ricciarelli after the externalizations on the inheritance. Certainly not an elegant topic to talk about but the soprano seems to have failed to resist what, in his opinion, is an injustice but which in fact is the uttemy of the king of Italian television: “I don’t think the secretary has access to the same fraction of inheritance of the children Tiziana and Alessandro“. In another passage the soprano spoke of their marriage agreements, underlining that”At the time of the wedding, in 1986, Pippo and I also chose to do the separation of goods. I have always preferred to have an economic independence: I work for a lifetime and I don’t need anything. But if all the secretaries are treated like this, perhaps I was wrong profession“.
These are the words of Ricciarelli entrusted to Il Messaggero, who convinced Minna to act to avoid other overflows of this type and make silence drop on a theme, that of the inheritance, certainly not worthy of a great TV man as Baudo was. The last time Ricciarelli saw Baudo was “In 2019 to a concert at the Arena in Verona. We didn’t say a word and we hugged ourselves. She was there too“.
Six years have passed since that day and it seems that between the two the contacts were not so frequent. The great loves that have been is always better to remember them for the nice they leftavoiding recriminations when one of the two is no longer in the condition to reply.
