The well-known singer-songwriter Tiziano Ferrohe told himself with an open heart to Vanity Fair and on this occasion he returned to the dispute he had with the record company Mara Maionchi. The latter, interviewed dto Francesca Fagnani to Beastsspoke of the ingratitude shown by Ironlaunched by the same Maionchi and her husband Alberto Salernoat the time of his debut with Relative red in 2001.
Tiziano Ferro: “I love Mara Maionchi and I’m sure that twenty years ago these discussions weren’t so clear”
To the statements of Marathe singer replied on social media, pointing out that he had never been ungrateful and also shared an article by Grazia Sambruna published on MowMag in which Maionchi was spoken of as a bad wolfwhich would have hindered the singer-songwriter from revealing his homosexuality and would also have pushed him to lose weight (at 20, Titian in fact he weighed 111 kg).
There Maionchi responded by denying that he had forced the singer not to talk about his sexual orientation and speaking of a health issue regarding his weight loss, question also addressed by the husband of the record company. Talking about the dispute we had with Mara, Titian he has declared:
“We need to work on the next generation of parents, because they will be the ones to help their children not to slip into these precipices. I’ll give you an example: speaking of bulimia, today I neither do nor want to make an apology for obesity, but until yesterday a child was taken to the dietician just because he was five kilos heavier than expected. That is a cruel mechanism that has branded me because I will feel fat forever and nothing will ever change my mind. I will walk down the street feeling fat even though I’m not. And I will perpetually feel inadequate. Parents are key in this. And so are educators. And the managers. And here yes, I am referring to Mara Maionchi. I love her and I’m sure that twenty years ago these discussions weren’t so clear. But today a radical change of pace must be made, because mental health is a practical thing that must be practiced.”
It’s still:
“It is a moral obligation to tell people, to artists, that the body is not a negative constraint for their art. I believe that Mara and many other people have not realized enough how traumatic and painful that attitude is, which is imprinted forever in the unconscious and in the existence of still fragile children today they lose their good faith.
There Maionchiat the helm in these days ofEurovision Song Contest on the weekly Who, took the opportunity to close the chapter on Tiziano Ferro. To the direct question “but why did Ferro have to lose weight?“, the well-known record company declared:
“Had to is a big word, in my opinion being so robust at 18 is not so healthy. And then, of course, to be on stage for a long time, to sing and dance for hours, you need physical preparation. I think I gave the right advice, there was no obligation, then the songs count. And there are artists who don’t need any cunning, like Titian, who did great things. And I don’t think “by force”. His talent is indisputable, for the songs he went back and forth to Latina for two or three years, I think, Michele Canova followed him, then we made Rosso Relativo. This is what producers are for, to say yes and no, to guide, that’s how it works.”
