Paolo Belli is forced to stop and interrupt his theater tour “Just to do comedy”. There is something more important to do. Something that requires his presence. He says it with tears in his eyes, his voice cracking with worry. But it is so. «With regret, I have to interrupt my tour. My family needs me, my presence. Subsequent dates will all be cancelled.”

His wife’s illness
His wife Deanna awaits him at home, with whom he has been close for over forty years. She is a faithful wife who discovered she had a serious health problem for which she underwent emergency surgery. «Yes, now I only think about being close to Deanna, it’s the only thing that matters», writes the weekly magazine Di Più Tv, reporting a phrase that Paolo repeats to the people close to him, those with whom he finds the strength not to lose his incurable optimism.
Son
Alongside Paolo and Deanna, there is their son Vladik, with his wife and their children, his grandchildren. They are the ones who force him in a particular moment. On the other hand «we have been married for forty years, plus three years of engagement, and it is as if she were my leg, if she wasn’t there I wouldn’t be able to keep myself up. Deanna is everything to me.”
A true love. Unique, strong, always alive: «My Deanna and I met when we were very young, we were at the “Picchio Rosso”, a nightclub in Formigine in the Modena area, where I grew up. She struck me straight away, but we were in the company of some friends and we just said hello. Luckily we then met again, we were in Riccione, at a bonfire on the beach, and since I really liked it a lot, to make an impression I played the joker: I took my guitar, which I always carry with me, and I sang for she. We haven’t been apart since.” Past phrases, which the television weekly directed by Osvaldo Orlandini re-proposes.
But now we need to have strength, we need to know how to react because this difficult moment too will pass. This is what he repeats to the people close to him. And not just his family. Paolo Belli is a person who is also receiving a lot of affection from his fans, from those who have decided not to leave him alone.
