Biography
Gianni Morandi was born in 1944. The first album was recorded in 1963. The song Andavo a cento all "ora ("I was driving a hundred kilometers per hour") brought him fame. The peak of his popularity came in the 60s. Then his popularity subsided somewhat, but he remained one of the most famous figures in Italian show business .
In 1970, Gianni Morandi represented Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Occhi di ragazza ("Girl's Eyes"), where he finished 8th.
In 1972 he took part in the Sanremo Festival for the first time. In 1983 he had a great success in San Remo with the song La mia nemica amatissima ("My most beloved enemy"). In 1987, he took 1st place at the Sanremo Festival with the song Si può dare di più ("You Can Give More"). In 1995, together with Barbara Cola, he took 2nd place at the Sanremo Festival with the song In amore ("In Love"). In 2000, Morandi again took part in Sanremo and took 3rd place with the song Innamorato ("In Love").
Gianni Morandi also starred in a number of films, in one of them ("The Power of Love", La forza dell "amore) - along with his daughter Marianna.
A total of 34 albums were recorded and 413 songs were sung. The total circulation of discs sold exceeded 30 million. Currently, he continues active studio and touring activities.
In the 60s, when four Liverpool musicians took over the world and infected with Beatlemania, Italy idolized the young, talented and very romantic Gianni Morandi. And in 2017, the duo of the same name released the most popular song Angels, which became once gold and seven times platinum. However, both musical projects do not intersect with each other in any way - the name of the modern group was created from two names of the soloists.
Childhood and youth
On the 11th day of winter in the penultimate year of the Second World War, in the morning, the housewife Clara Eleonora and the shoemaker Renato, who is also an ardent communist, had their first child in the village with the exquisite name Mongidoro. In order for her daughter to give birth safely, her father Tony had to literally watch for the midwife - her husband was still at the front at that time. They named the child Gian Luigi, and later he had to slightly change the name for the stage image.
As a child, livelihoods were often not enough, so the boy went to work immediately after school - he polished shoes or sold sweets. At the same time, he also did not forget to help Renato in distributing campaign leaflets and newspapers.
In elementary school, Gianni's education ceased, and the strict head of the family began to instill knowledge in his son - in the evenings, complex compositions were read to hone the language and clear diction, and being late for classes was punished by further deprivation of walks and rest.
According to his own recollections, he first tried to sing in front of guests at family celebrations, then the performer began to be invited for a fee to small impromptu concerts in public, often held in the only Aurora cinema. News about the young singer gradually spread throughout the district.
Music
In 1963, new sections appeared in the musical biography - festivals, albums and television shows, and 2 years later they were supplemented by cinema. By the way, later, in addition to participating in the filming, he also tried himself as a film director. The discography of the radiant Italian artist started with the Gianni Morandi collection, the title single of which instantly turned into a real hit. However, the following compositions were also blessed with success, conquering the demanding jury and the sophisticated listener.
When creative activity was in full swing, changes took place in Gianni's life - for 1 year and 3 months he disappeared from the blue screens to pay his debt to his homeland. In addition, he was prohibited from going on leave for half of his term of service due to fears of accusations of patronage. After demobilization, a slightly forgotten interest in his person had to be restored, taking winning places in two prestigious vocal competitions.
The experience of working at Eurovision - 70 turned into a hit in the top ten. But this white stripe came to an end. The performance in San Remo turned out to be unsuccessful, followed by a noticeable crisis in creativity and personal life - his father died, his relationship with his first wife ended, inspiration disappeared.
Gianni Morandi's song "Canzoni Stonate"In order not to get bogged down in the surging problems, Morandi concentrated on the professional development of the double bass at the university in Rome, and also got into the football team of musicians, where he revealed his athletic abilities.
Fortune appreciated the industriousness and perseverance of the resilient Italian - in the subsequent times of his stay in the "city of flowers and the sea", he took a leading position at festivals, and also consolidated his returned success with the main male role in a full-length film.
Gianni Morandi's song "Il Giocattolo" ("Toy")Morandi's relations with the USSR were warm, if not loving - just recall the episode from "The Most Charming and Attractive". In the 80s, it seems that everyone and everywhere listened to music from sunny Italy, they knew “Toy” and “Smoke” by heart, so concerts in 5 Soviet cities were a great success.
Also, his songs were given powerful informational support on television - one sounded on the traditional festive "Spark", and Canzoni Stonate and Aeroplano, filmed at the circus on Vernadsky, entered the "New Year's Attraction". After that, he visited the largest country in the world by area in 1988 and in 2012.
Gianni Morandi and Adriano CelentanoFrom the beginning to the middle of the 2000s, he successfully served as the host of TV programs, in 2011 he was the head of FC Bologna for less than a month. A joint duet with in the amphitheater of Verona helped the event to receive the honorary title of "Best Concert of the Year - 2012".
Personal life
The singer did not hesitate to acquaint fans with the ladies of the heart. The first lover is busy in the picture for the composition "Kneeling Before You", the second - in the 2017 Volare video.
On July 13, 1966, a secret marriage took place with actress Laura Efrikyan, the daughter of the famous conductor of Armenia, who gave her husband three children - Serena, Marianne (1969) and Marco (1974). The first-born, unfortunately, lived only a few hours after birth, the second daughter received a theatrical education, also appeared in the film with her father, but then devoted herself entirely to the family. The boy, like his parent, became interested in the art of music.
However, after 13 years, the couple decided to leave. According to Laura, a family created in youth has a short lifespan. However, now the woman does not hold evil against the former chosen one and is sincerely glad of his success. They have five grandchildren.
The performer met his current wife Anna Dan at the stadium when he participated in a football match, and was immediately fascinated by the "wonderful eyes" of the stranger. A lightning romance broke out, ending with the birth of Pietro's son. The lovers succeeded in legitimizing a strong relationship exactly 10 years after they met.
“I have been in love with my wife Anna for over 20 years. She is always in a good mood, she helps me a lot. Since I met her, it has become easier for me to work, and you can say that she brings me good luck. The secret of family happiness is true love, ”says the musician.

An excerpt characterizing Morandi, Gianni
- Princess, mother, someone is driving along the prefecture! she said, holding the frame and not closing it. - With lanterns, it must be, dokhtur ...- Oh my god! Thank God! - said Princess Mary, - we must go to meet him: he does not know Russian.
Princess Marya threw on her shawl and ran to meet the travelers. When she passed the front hall, she saw through the window that some kind of carriage and lamps were standing at the entrance. She went out onto the stairs. A tallow candle stood on the railing post and flowed from the wind. The waiter Philip, with a frightened face and with another candle in his hand, was standing below, on the first landing of the stairs. Even lower, around the bend, on the stairs, steps could be heard moving in warm boots. And some kind of familiar voice, as it seemed to Princess Mary, was saying something.
- Thank God! said the voice. - And the father?
“Go to sleep,” answered the voice of the butler Demyan, who was already downstairs.
Then a voice said something else, Demyan answered something, and steps in warm boots began to approach faster along an invisible turn of the stairs. "This is Andrey! thought Princess Mary. No, it can’t be, it would be too unusual, ”she thought, and at the same moment as she thought this, on the platform on which the waiter was standing with a candle, the face and figure of Prince Andrei in a fur coat with a collar sprinkled with snow. Yes, it was him, but pale and thin, and with a changed, strangely softened, but anxious expression on his face. He entered the stairs and hugged his sister.
- You didn't get my letter? he asked, and without waiting for an answer, which he would not have received, because the princess could not speak, he returned, and with the obstetrician, who came in after him (he had gathered with him at the last station), with quick steps again entered the ladder and hugged his sister again. - What a fate! - he said, - Masha is dear - and, throwing off his fur coat and boots, he went to the half of the princess.
The little princess was lying on pillows, in a white cap. (Suffering had just let go of her.) Black hair curled in strands around her inflamed, sweaty cheeks; her ruddy, lovely mouth, with a sponge covered with black hairs, was open, and she smiled joyfully. Prince Andrei entered the room and stopped in front of her, at the foot of the sofa on which she was lying. Brilliant eyes, looking childish, frightened and agitated, rested on him without changing their expression. “I love you all, I didn’t harm anyone, why am I suffering? help me,” her expression said. She saw her husband, but did not understand the meaning of his appearance now before her. Prince Andrei walked around the sofa and kissed her on the forehead.
“My dear,” he said, a word he had never spoken to her. - God is merciful. She looked inquiringly, childishly reproachfully at him.
- I expected help from you, and nothing, nothing, and you too! her eyes said. She was not surprised that he came; she did not understand that he had come. His arrival had nothing to do with her suffering and its relief. The torment began again, and Marya Bogdanovna advised Prince Andrei to leave the room.
The obstetrician entered the room. Prince Andrei went out and, meeting Princess Marya, again approached her. They started talking in a whisper, but every minute the conversation fell silent. They waited and listened.
- Allez, mon ami, [Go, my friend,] - said Princess Mary. Prince Andrei again went to his wife, and sat down in the next room waiting. Some woman came out of her room with a frightened face and was embarrassed when she saw Prince Andrei. He covered his face with his hands and sat there for several minutes. Pathetic, helpless animal moans were heard from behind the door. Prince Andrei got up, went to the door and wanted to open it. Someone held the door.
- You can't, you can't! said a frightened voice from there. He began to walk around the room. The screams ceased, a few more seconds passed. Suddenly a terrible scream - not her scream, she could not scream like that - was heard in the next room. Prince Andrei ran to the door; the cry ceased, the cry of a child was heard.
“Why did they bring a child there? Prince Andrei thought at first. Child? What? ... Why is there a child? Or was it a baby? When he suddenly understood all the joyous meaning of this cry, tears choked him, and, leaning on the windowsill with both hands, he sobbed, sobbing, as children cry. The door opened. The doctor, with his shirt sleeves rolled up, without his coat, pale and with a trembling jaw, left the room. Prince Andrei turned to him, but the doctor looked at him in bewilderment and, without saying a word, passed by. The woman ran out and, seeing Prince Andrei, hesitated on the threshold. He entered his wife's room. She lay dead in the same position in which he had seen her five minutes earlier, and the same expression, despite the fixed eyes and the pallor of her cheeks, was on that lovely, childish face with a sponge covered with black hairs.
Gian Luigi Morandi is known on stage as Gianni Morandi, a popular Italian musician and singer from 1960-70. His fame extended far beyond the borders of Italy, for example, in the USSR, singer Gianni Morandis collected entire stadiums. Today, he still performs with concerts, but spends more time with family and friends, as well-known musicians as himself.
On December 11, 1944, in the small Italian village of Monghidoro, whose population barely reaches 4 thousand people, located in the Emilia Romagna region, the future legendary musician Gianni Morandi was born.
The boy's parents worked hard and hard, thus instilling a special attitude to work in their son. Mother was engaged in housekeeping. The head of the family, Renato Morandi, is a shoemaker and an active member of the Communist Party. He participated in meetings as a secretary, sold political publications and distributed propaganda leaflets. The son often helped his father in this activity. Every day, Gianni read aloud to his father several pages from Karl Marx's Capital and the newspaper Unity.
The boy's family did not have sufficient financial resources, and the child, trying to earn extra money, in his free time polished shoes on the street and sold sweets near the village cinema.
Labor since childhood
Good vocal abilities and stage emancipation were inherent in Gianni Morandi from childhood. His biography as a singer began with performances in front of friends and parents at the holidays. The whole Morandi family sang and one day the boy was invited to perform at the festival, paying 1000 lire (about 100 Russian rubles). “That was a miracle! Now Gianni always sang. Sometimes he performed on the stage of the cinema with mini-concerts to warm up the audience.
In the early 60s, having tested his abilities and talents during performances at small concerts, he suddenly becomes popular. Since 1962, his name appears in the lists of participants in many competitions and festivals, most of which Morandi manages to win. Already in the 1st year on the big stage he was awarded a prize in the TV show "Canzonissima" (Canzonissima). This is a significant victory for the early work of the singer.
In 1963, the young man recorded his 1st album. His song "I was driving a hundred an hour" became a hit for several months and glorified his performer. The composition was written by Tony Dory and Kamucha (pseudonym of Franco Migliacci).
Financial situation is improving
The financial situation of Gianni Morandi improved after the performance of the song "Let the mother send for milk" (Fatti mandare dalla mamma). She seemed to mean the formation of Gianni as a singer and represented the entire youth generation that grew up on the songs of her idol. Morandi signed a contract with a major recording company "RCA Italiana", it was she who became the sponsor of the presentation of the song.
In the mid 60s. such songs were recorded as “Kneeling Before You” (1st place in the Greatest Hits festival), “Not worthy of you” (participation in the musical “Rose Festival”), “If you are not with me”, “It is getting dark ”, “Harmonica”. All of them instantly became hits and sold hundreds of thousands of discs.
Separate compositions gave the name to musical films, the plots of which were based on the content of the written texts. The films did not carry a great semantic load, as they were edited in a short time to "spice up" the songs.
In 1966, Gianni Morandi won the 2nd victory in the Greatest Hits festival with the composition "August Nights". At the same time, the singer's creative worldviews are undergoing changes. The young songwriter M. Lusini invites Morandi to listen to the political song "Once upon a time there was a guy ..", the text for which was written by Migliacci, condemning military operations in Vietnam.
Gianni Morandi had never performed songs of political content before, but he fell in love with this one and was set on fire with the desire to sing it himself. Migliacci was against it, believing that Gianni did not need such a theme. But Morandi, in spite of this, performed the composition together with Luzini at the "Festival of Roses". They were warmly received and listened to with pleasure.
forced break
As soon as 1967 began, Gianni was called up for a year and 3 months. A break for a long time could turn into a risk of being forgotten by the public. And all this is on the crest of the glory of the young singer. For the first six months he was not allowed to go on leave, the commanders were afraid of being accused of having pets. Morandi served in the CAR unit in the D. Genio regiment.
The absence of the musician on the stage was made up for by the sound of his voice in TV programs in the form of spectacular musical phrases announcing such TV programs as "Young", "Separated", "Seven Dictionary Entries".
After leaving the service, Gianni Morandi was working on a project for a musical comedy film about Aladdin. The film was a hopeless failure at the box office.
Rise and fall period
Another "Canzonissima" could give a forgotten performer a chance to shine again in the rays of glory. Morandi becomes a participant in the competition with the composition "It's raining" and becomes a leader, unparalleled. The following year, the furor is repeated, Gianni performs the song "Nobody Cares" and the jury awards him 1st place.
In 1970, Morandi participates in Eurovision, sings the song "Girl's Eyes" for the musical honor of Italy, the jury awards him eighth place. He understands that the best times have passed, although in his homeland popularity still shone brightly over him. In 1972, for the first time, he participates in San Remo, after which a decline in creativity begins.
At this time, the musician writes songs that do not fall into the ideological climate of the time. The black line is coming. Economic and political problems are growing in society, terrorism is flourishing. The death of his father at the age of 49, a divorce from Laura, the lack of new ideas and songs, problems in the profession - all these difficulties Morandi had to overcome alone, looking for new ways of growth and development.
The musician did not lose heart. In 1975, a special project of the football musicians team was developed and launched in Italy, where Gianni became the central striker. He participated in matches 337 times, scoring the ball into the opponent's goal 54 times. In 1977, he entered the musical institution of higher education in Rome and graduated as a certified double bass player.
Luck returns
Fate favors stubborn and hardworking talents, fortune soon returned its favor. While studying at the conservatory, the musician stopped singing, not hoping to continue this line of creativity. But Mogol's call brought Morandi back to the stage. He offered him a song, with which the stage career of the performer resumed.
The songs recorded in the late 70s: “I'm going to work”, “You are a strong dad”, “Witch of Befana, tweedledee” were supplemented by the composition that returned success - “Discordant songs”.
In his performance, the songs sound: “Thank you, because”, a cover version of “We Have Today” together with Ami Stewart, “One in a Thousand”, “1950”. In 1983, the songs "Sailor" and "Beloved Enemy" were recorded. The last composition brought good luck to the singer in the popular vote in San Remo and served as his calling card for many years to come.
In 1984, a full-length film from 3 episodes - "Thirst to Fly" was released, where Gianni plays the main role.
In 1987, when the musician was 42 years old, he won a competition in San Remo with the composition "More Can Be". He performed as a trio with W. Tozzi and E. Ruggeri.
In 1988, Gianni Morandi completes his albums of songs with another historical "Dalla / Morandi", recorded together with Lucio Dalla. The main singles of the album were the compositions: “Ask who the Beatles are” (authors Currari and Noriss) and “What will remain of me” (Fr. Battiyato's song).
