Gene Gnocchi is seen on TV occasionally, but he is a face well known to the Italian public, perhaps because he has hosted several broadcasts over the yearseither for his football past or for his commitment as a comedian and stand-up comedian, has managed to make himself loved or at least known by Italians. Together with him, another face of the family has always enjoyed excellent popularity, also thanks to Eugenio (the man’s first name). Let’s talk about mother Adriana. Only last year the woman was in video connection with Today is another day by Serena Bortone, to talk about family, together with the children present in the studio. Now we learn of the death of the woman, who had recently reached 91 years of age. Gene Gnocchi himself communicated this.
The announcement of the mother’s death and the condolences of the VIPs
The sad news was shared by the artist himself via his social channels with a touching message: “Mother Adriana has left us“. A very simple but direct message, accompanied by a splendid photo of the woman, smiling and happy. Adriana was very well liked by everyone, so it is not surprising that the most disparate farewell messages arrived on her son’s post. Among all, the one from ‘friend Simona Ventura, who sadly communicates: “I met an extraordinary woman, I hug you very much”, to which Gene himself replies: “Thank you my friend”. Simona’s future husband was also present, Giovanni Terzi, which sends a broken heart emoji. The conductor also does the same thing Nicola Savino. There’s no shortage of comedian colleagues either Nuzzo and Di Biasewho simply respond with a: “Condolences”, or even the great Roberto Mancini who writes: “Condolences Gene to all the family”.
Adriana’s life, her passion for cooking and her love for her children
Already the stage name chosen by his children: “Gnocchi”, ironically varying their real surname: “Ghiozzi”, should give us an idea of what a very ironic family with a great love for cooking was like. But the credit for this goes above all to one person, the good Adriana. Lover of good food, he began working in the kitchen of his restaurantalways creating new recipes, which were then perfected and teacher to anyone he took under his wing. Among these there were obviously also his children: six to be precise. Starting with the firstborn Eugene, known as Gene Gnocchi was first a lawyer but then became popular on television. Then Carlo, known as Charlie, radio host and television personality, also seen in Strip the News as the correspondent “Mister Neuro”. It comes then Federico, or Chicco, who managed Trattoria Belvedere in Parma for over 10 years. Also famous Andrea, known as Andy, manager of the Antica Trattoria at the Cathedral of Fidenza. We have then Alberto, also known as “Albertone”, involved in the creation of all the trattorias and clubs that the family has managed, as well as the creator of the online shop of the “Fratelli Gnocchi” brand. And finally Elena, always involved in the family business, but also very active in social affairs and a theater actress. They all say goodbye with great sadness to a great woman and a great mother like Adriana.
