«Giulia taught me to love. Riccardo Scamarcio? I don’t regret that friendship and Clizia Incorvaia makes a mistake with our daughter”

Francesco Sarcina dedicated an entire album to Giulia Tagliapietra. «A girl of incredible purity and beauty. It was my last year of high school, I was a reckless person who went around playing music, who wanted to get lost in the world to understand and have experiences. The story ended after two years without a real reason, because I felt “a calling” – he tells Corriere della Sera – She looked at me with her big eyes and showed me what it means to love. He told me: “Bro, if going makes you happy, then that’s right”. He loved me, leaving me free, he loved me more than someone who says “I love you” but wants to destroy you.” A girl who is no longer here today, has died.

At that age Francesco was already a fighter, he still tells Corsera: «I was a basically alone nineteen year old.

My mother had left and I was left with my father, who was very depressed and took all his anger out on me. We were staying in a suburban house in Gratosoglio, with imminent eviction, without electricity, without gas, without hot water. For two years, everything was like this. A very strong survival instinct saved me: I had half a day down, but the next day, I went back to fighting.”

Giulia

He remembers that his father didn’t work and he did everything: «Leaflet distribution, unloading vegetables at night at the market. Then, I took the guitar and went to play and my father got angry: “Where are you going?”. The turning point came thanks to the bassist I played with, Samina: she signed me up for Siae and advised me to go to the union, which, with the certificate of my father’s depression, helped us to have a council house. It was in a bad area, but I wrote a lot of things there, including Dedicated to you, after seeing Giulia again.” They never got lost. But “we were very different, even though she taught me that loving is not holding back, it’s not possessing.”

Then he adds: «In the musical, I portray myself as worse than I was, to explain what selfishness does to 19 years old, when you only think of yourself and don’t see the pain you cause. But sometimes, on the other side, the other finds his way, grows, realizes himself. My passion takes me among demons. We find ourselves: she resolved, I destroyed. She gives me light, I reconnect with myself and, from there, the famous song was born, which I sing on stage.”

The Vibrations

But he will also return to making music. There is already a date with Le Vibrazioni: «We would like to release an unreleased song and on September 10th we will do a big concert at the Carroponte in Sesto San Giovanni dedicated to Giulia. In his memory, with the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, we are working on a year of raising awareness on prevention against the papillomavirus and on the consequences which, if underestimated, can become fatal”.

The wife and daughter

He now has a Mexican wife, Nayra Garibosi, and a daughter, Yelaiah. It was love at first sight, he tells the historic daily newspaper on via Solferino. Now he has made peace with himself and also with his mother: «I have reconciled with my mother, I understood that she had enormous pain and pressure and made choices that I read differently today. And I believe a healthy relationship has put me back in touch with myself. Today, I face problems head on. Before, I had to go through demons: everything unleashed abuse, excess, destruction. The anger still comes, but I’ll talk to it straight away.”

Cocaine? “At fifty, if you fall back into it after all the sacrifices you’ve made, you’re crazy.”

Incorvaia and Scamarcio

Chapter Clizia Incorvia. «The point is not “peace” between us: it’s the children. Putting photos of your children on social media is wrong, period. We’ve all done it when we didn’t know how dangerous it was, but now we know: I have friends in the police who told me appalling things about the use of images of minors.” And with Riccardo Scamarcio, Corsera asks, has it been clarified? “No. And I don’t regret anything about that friendship.”
