A life and career lived in one breath for Riccardo Fogli, timeless artist and member of Pooh.
Not a particularly fortunate start to the year for Riccardo Fogli who in January was called to undergo a delicate surgery. Operation on the tendons of the hand for the musician who, however, did not let himself be discouraged and within a short time he returned to playing his favorite instruments. A life dedicated to music for the artist from Pontedera, in the province of Pisa, who will see his name forever linked to that of Pooh.
Love, separation and then a new flashback for the singer who joined the band during the second half of the sixties. Following a brief amateur experience, it was Pooh who offered Fogli the great chance to emerge. After his farewell, the musician decided to reunite with his old companions in 2015 and since then they have returned to thrilling their audiences.
A career certainly full of satisfactions for Riccardo Fogli who, like any self-respecting rock star, has also been called to deal with more than a few situations at the limits of what is permitted. Especially in the sentimental field where time ago he was romantically linked to his colleague Patty Pravo. The same one that led him to make one of the most difficult decisions of his career.
Who is Riccardo Fogli: from Pooh to all his loves
It was 1973 when the musician decided to leave Pooh and undertake, to the amazement of the public, a solo career. Today Riccardo Fogli is 76 years old and he is happy with his path but who knows if going back he would make the same choices. At the time, the chronicles of the time report that it was Nicoletta Strambelli, aka Patty Pravo, who was his lover in those years, who suggested this move to him.
It was a fleeting love that involved Fogli and Pravo, the two were together for about a couple of years before saying goodbye once and for all. After the separation, the Tuscan artist decided to return to his ex-wife Viola Valentino, only to then separate once again just some time later. The reason? In 1992 he met another woman who could make his head spin.
Her name is Stefania Brassi, known on the set and at the time already married to the director Antonio Maria Magro. Despite this, the two decided to date and even had a relationship son named Alessandro Siegfried. After after, during the second marriage, Michelle was also born. Got it from his current partner Karin Trentini. The couple still lives together today in a luxurious home immersed in the greenery of Tuscany.
