Carlo Di Francesco, musician and former professor of the Italian talent show ‘Amici’, has been in a relationship with Fiorella Mannoia for over a decade and is now her husband. After 15 years of engagement, Carlo Di Francesco and Fiorella Mannoia got married on February 22, 2021. The couple has chosen to keep their union away from the public eye and will soon celebrate their love with a wedding. Several years ago, Mannoia had revealed her relationship with Carlo, who is 26 years younger than her. About their bond, she had declared: “He is still there. We are open, not closed. That’s why we never get tired of each other. Everyone is free to follow their passions, and this ensures that one never feels alone or unhappy”.
The story of Mannoia and Di Francesco is a story of protection and lasting passion. Fiorella said: “Does desire change after 60? The forces may not be the same, but the important thing is not to give up. Age is a physical thing, not an invention. Old age does not exist”. At 66, Mannoia decided to formalize the union with a civil ceremony. The bride wore white, with silver sneakers on her feet.
Carlo Di Francesco is a well-known musician and music producer, recognized by the public for his participation in the thirteenth season of Amici by Maria De Filippi. Originally from Avezzano, Carlo has always been involved in competitive rugby. His musical studies began at a young age and he spent a period in Cuba. On his return to Italy he undertook several tours.
Di Francesco has had the privilege of working with some of the most renowned Italian artists, such as Ornella Vanoni, Eugenio Finardi, Edoardo Bennato, Loredana Bertè and Alex Britti. He is also responsible for the production of all Fiorella Mannoia’s works and is part of his band. His private life has long been the subject of speculation, so much so that Amici’s fans wondered if the music professor had a partner. Her relationship with Fiorella Mannoia was kept under wraps for a decade, until the singer chose to publicly declare her love for him at the Sanremo Music Festival.
After previously declaring her disinterest in the wedding, the singer has now changed her stance. After the news was quietly shared, the wedding took place.
