Their love story started in a TV studio. It was 2002, Amadeus was leading L’Eredita and she was part of the cast as a dancer, giving life to the famous “shock”. Together with her were Simona Petrucci, Donatella Salvatico, Cristina D’Alberto and a very young girlElena Santarelli .
“I had no intention of committing myself, I enjoyed the freedom, undemanding stories – said Amadeus some time later, recalling their first meeting -. I used an indirect way to step forward. To avoid exposing myself too much, I wrote her a note and gave it to my assistant. I was giving you an appointment in Corso Como, in Milan. If she had come, I would have read it as a sign of destiny telling me to put my head right ”. Then a beautiful love story was born that led the couple to swear eternal love on January 18, 2009. In the same year, little Jose Alberto was born .

The girl lives in London, but when she can she goes to Italy to be with her family.
Last July, the couple decided to swear eternal love for the second time. In Rome, in a small church, Giovanna and Amadeus got married ten years after their first wedding. “This marriage is the fulfillment of a dream – Giovanna explained to the weekly Oggi -. We both care, we are very believers. And now that the cancellation of Amadeus’ previous religious marriage has arrived, we can consecrate our love as we wish ”.
Extremely in love and very attached to his wife, Amadeus has never hidden the dream of having another child: “We’re not working on it, but we’re not ruling out having another baby. Indeed – he had explained to Gente-. I just need to have a little stress-free break from work. Who knows, in the summer … After all, I have ‘distant’ children. Alice was 11 when she was born Jose. Now he is 9 and he asks us for a little brother. And a dog too, he loves them of all breeds. Maybe they will come together and there will be a revolution in the family ”.
