NEVER GO DOWN LEVEL – Her son Massimiliano Pani: «Mum decided to move away from TV because she was the first to understand what it would become: she worked with a team of champions like Walter Chiari, Raffaella Carrà, Antonello Falqui, Mario Soldati, Amurri and Verde. Those were the standards she was used to and she had no intention of lowering her standards. They made incredible offers to bring her back in front of the cameras, to no avail.” The impresario Adriano Aragozzini: «I made her a monstrous offer to organize concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York but I received an outright no».

THE EXHIBITION – In the cover story of Today, also the letter exhibited in the exhibition «Divism spectacle culture (1950 – 1980) La Bussola di Bernardini», until 29 September in the Medici Palace of Serravezza (Lucca) and in the exhibition hall of the Scuderie Granducali, with which Mina announced to the patron of the well-known local from Versilia: «Sergio dear, I’m telling you by letter because it’s easier for me. After long meditation and labor I have decided that I no longer work at all.”

THE MANY NO – Furthermore, in an article by Luca Josiwho as manager of Tim managed to bring her as a testimonial to Sanremo, in hologram in 2018 and in voice from 2017 to 2021, remembers that «they wanted her, without obtaining her, Fellini for the movie”Satyricon” And Francis Ford Coppola for the female lead role in “The Godfather” (which after his refusal passed to Diane Keaton)». And a sensational return is announced: «After years of attempted explorations with Massimiliano Pani we are giving life to a project that will bring Mina’s figure and fantastic imagination back to TV. We have never thought of a biopic, a narrative artifice that is a bit predictable and perhaps a bit limiting for such an uncontainable story. The result was a project which, having found its form, immediately began to run. See you soon”.
