Mara Maionchi will be guest from Francesca Fagnani to Beaststhe program whose next and final episode will be broadcast on Rai2 in prime time Tuesday 30 Apriland for the occasion let’s see together who the husband Alberto Salernohow they met, details about the first meeting, the marriage proposal and the betrayal.
Mara Maionchi, who is her husband Alberto Salerno
Son of Nisa, author of well-known songs from the 1950s such as I’m not old enough, Alberto Salerno was born in 1949 and is a lyricist and pillar of Italian music, creator of great successes such as Promised Land by Eros Ramazzotti, I will be born by Loretta Goggi, Women of sugar, I wander of the Nomads e I had a heart by Mino Reitano, a song he wrote at the age of 18. Mara Maionchi and her husband fell in love just under 50 years ago and have been married since 1976, the year in which the life of the ironic and biting record producer changed radically: together they produced famous albums by Tiziano Ferro (including Relative red), founded the record company NoI’m not old enough and wrote a book entitled The first year goes badly, all the others get worsewhere the two highlight details of their relationship as a couple.
After getting married in 1976, the two became spouses parents: Giulia, born in 1977, and Camilla, who came into the world in 1981, which also made them grandparents of three grandchildren. But what do we know about their love story? To tell how it was born she is the same Mara Maionchi in the book I love you today too by Mapi Danna, writer and radio speaker: “We’ve known each other forever. Alberto was a boy who worked as an author at Ariston, a record company for which I was the press office. We passed each other in the corridors, at some meetings, he was experiencing a moment of great success, I, even then, concentrated on music with absolute dedication and passion, few distractions and a lot of energy. When I moved to Ricordi, Alberto started to hang around me; he was cute but young, I had just come out of an important relationship, I was thirty-four and I was very focused on myself, free and not very romantic. One evening Alberto invites me to dinner, I go there without too much conviction, I go because he is nice, funny, handsome, but above all because I have no real reason to say no. In the following days, little by little he discovers himself: he woos me, he flatters me. He declares himself, he doesn’t mince words, he wants me. He has serious intentions, the young man. He asks me to marry him. I get stuck, I reverse. What up until that point had been a simple, rewarding, light and enjoyable relationship, without too many definitions, presented me with a choice. I look around and I don’t see anyone like me. If there isn’t a single woman who marries a man ten years younger, I say to myself, I won’t do it either, it’s inappropriate. Today everything has changed, but in 1976 toy-boys hadn’t yet been invented, not even MILFs, and I felt out of place, irregular. My mother, one evening, told me: ‘What’s your problem? He’s the one who gets mad at the old woman!’ I married Alberto eight months after the first kiss. It all happened quickly“.
Mara Maoinchi and her husband’s betrayal (hardly forgiven)
In 2016 a very true Mara Maionchi opened up to Silvia Toffanin and her audience by talking about betrayal of her husband Alberto Salerno and revealing that she then forgave him, not so easily, for the escapade: “I discovered that my husband had a weakness, but when you have children and a life plan together, you forgive and overcome. What does a horn want to be? And it was also partly my fault, I looked at the girls more than him. Of course, if it had been a long story maybe two years would have been different, but luckily that wasn’t the case. I forgave naturally and didn’t dream of taking revenge. I probably love him more today than I used to. I admit I would marry him again“. “If a man cheats on you, he can do it for many reasons that are often futile, very base, and it is a mistake to think that he is doing it against you. He is the fulcrum, he is the one who wanders, who lit up due to a short circuit, due to a small mirage that made him feel like a cowboy“, said the directly interested party at a later time. Alberto Salerno then told what he had to do to win back her heart after the betrayal: “I spent a summer on my knees, on the hot sand. He looked at me like you look at a broken object that you don’t throw away just because you’re fond of it“.
