The singer talks freely about herself. Her relationship with her mother (who told her she was stupid), her love for her husband Claudio, her illnesses. The budget? Positive, with two regrets
Donatella Rettore talks about herself in a river interview on the occasion of the release of the single The sense of danger, which previews the new album. Rettore has just started a summer tour with her successes of yesterday and today. Born in 1955 in Castelfranco Veneto, she has been singing since she was ten years old: her first group was called Cobra, just like the title of one of her most famous songs. Donatella has great successes under her belt, such as Gorgeous Shining, Kobra, Razor Blades, I have you. For almost twenty years she has been married to the musician Claudio Rego, with whom she has been dating since 1977, a man who understands women «He is fantastic, he is a feminist», she says in an interview with Silvia Fumarola of Republic. «It’s my fixed point, we share everything: life, music and the great love for furry friends. I can’t live without dogs.” – photo | video

THE MOTHER WHO CALLED HER A DUMB – Donatella Rettore’s mother was a nobleman, Teresita Pisani, a theater actress who never went to her concerts because, as the singer said in the past, «she was ashamed because she was too revealing and provocative. When I was younger she accompanied me, she said to her friends: “she IS a girl and I have to protect her because she is stupid. Someone who wants to sing and has the opportunity to study, she’s stupid.” And then he scolded her: “Stand up straight, don’t walk like Gianni Morandi.” But I, says Donatella, «Gianni Morandi liked him very much».

FRIENDS AND RIVALS – Lucio Dalla and Donatella Rettore were great friends. «He counted a lot in my career», he says. «He spoke to my mother: “How did you educate your daughter?”. “In the Holiness of Christ”. And he: “Then every time your daughter sings, say a Hail Mary. Look, she wants to be a singer, not a slut.” Ron, sweet and handsome, accompanied me on the piano. We have loved each other since 1973.” Loredana Bertè has always been considered a rival. «We last met in 2022, we looked into her eyes, she turned and ran away. Look, the only argument is in Saint Vincent, and it was about Mimì. I told her: “Stop saying this bad thing, she does harm.” Mimì agreed with me and she, however, took it out on me. That was the malice of a journalist, to foment the rivalry, he invented that I had said that Bertè brought bad luck like her sister. But do we realize it? The judge refused to proceed. I have always been a fan of Loredana, I love her. I would really like to sing with her and Patty Pravo, the three of us together, like Morandi, Al Bano and Ranieri did in Sanremo.”

OBSTACLES AND REGRETS – Donatella Rettore suffered from panic attacks. «Because of them I stopped two planes taking off at Fiumicino: the doctors arrived, I was all sweaty. I go to the psychiatrist: “These things can’t be resolved, you have to take psychotropic drugs for two years.” You helped me with the analysis.” Then the most fearsome of diseases: cancer. “AND a sword of Damocles. In autumn I do the checks and queue, with many other women. But thanks to prevention I’m here that tale. There are women who have never had a mammogram or an ultrasound. Book and go. I had a visit, then an ultrasound, needle aspiration and twenty days later I had the operation.” She is happy with her private life, satisfied with her successes. Her regrets? She broke up with the Ariston record company and above all refused to star in films with Ugo Tognazzi and Attila, scourge of God. «I could have been a comedian. I was the Monica Vitti of the North.”
