Al Bano and Loredana Lecciso have lived side by side for 21 years. Time passes in a flash and it seems like yesterday when their relationship came out, arousing criticism from those who never could have imagined seeing the singer from Cellino San Marco together with a woman who was not Romina Power. Yet the one between the Apulian artist and the beautiful showgirl proved to be true love .
As in all stories there was no lack of ups and downs , which the couple managed to overcome with strength and tenacity. After all, one could not expect otherwise when the protagonist of the love story is one of the most loved characters by the Italian public (and not only). Without forgetting, then, the eternal question of age difference, which still today (yes, in 2021) makes many turn up their noses.
In recent years there has been no lack of articles and hosted on TV, but Al Bano and his Loredana have decided to grant a new couple interview to the weekly Oggi, speaking with an open heart about their long love story and the stages that have brought them to consolidate a relationship that – let’s admit it – is really envious.
The one between Al Bano and Loredana Lecciso was not a real love at first sight, yet something had clicked since their first meeting. “I noticed his attractiveness – said the singer from Cellino San Marco-. We met at our daughters’ school and she asked me for an interview. I worked a lot and was always going up and down Italy and beyond, so I had to postpone. When I had the chance I met her at school, but she was cold: I thought she was no longer interested . I actually confused her with her twin sister. They were identical “.
A first “daring” meeting in a certain sense, but in truth the splendid Loredana already reciprocated her interest: ” I was struck by her charisma. There are people who, if they have it, are still noticed when they enter a room: he and one of them. He was tanned and I thought, ‘What a handsome man!’ There was a polite greeting between us on that occasion. Our relationship never started with the intention of seducing each other: everything was random “.
An interest that blossomed spontaneously , like a flower in spring. Al Bano had behind him the great love story with Romina Power, known to all, and he would never have thought that a young and beautiful woman like Loredana could have captured his heart. As he himself revealed in the interview with Oggi, everything was born and grew up slowly and to have a great weight was also her deep esteem for her family: “I fell in love with her family before she. I was struck by the great integrity and the enormous culture that was breathed there. They were good, solid people “.
And it is precisely on the importance of the family that the foundations of their love rest. The couple lived through moments of crisis, this is certain, but they have always been the ones to bring them together and allow them to find a balance: the children . Without forgetting, then, that their union is first of all “mental” and mutual respect has never been lacking. “She is a very intelligent woman. You have superior intelligence.Her beauty is in step with her brain … ”, Al Bano admitted about her sweet destination that she – in response – describes as a“ enveloping, intense, caring ”man.
Twenty-one years together is a great milestone that deserves to be celebrated. No wedding in sight (the couple reiterated, once again), but a “mental marriage” that is proceeding well.
