Isabella Ferrari’s interview

In his interview with Very true, Isabella Ferrari she said: «I’m proud of myself, then, as you grow up you learn, I mean I’m much better now than when I was younger because I started making films at 17 and I was a little girl.

I left my home, my family, my city and my friends, then success came and these are all things that mark you. My mother wanted this success for me, she wanted to be an actress and took me to many auditions. Then, at 17 I went to do an audition in Rome for “Sapore di Mare” by Carlo Vanzina and my mother was with me, also on the set. In my life, she was very present and we spoke, even when I was growing up, twice a day. When she passed away, I missed so much not hearing from her in everyday life. Our relationship was also conflictual but I was never independent from her.”

Isabella Ferrari then also spoke about when she chose to have an abortion: «When I decided to terminate a pregnancy, my mother was with me. I shared this moment with her and although it might seem unnatural for a mother to accompany you in that situation, however, I think it was something revolutionary, even compared to common culture. We always talk about abortion and from what I have experienced and I think I can say that it is always an issue linked to love. Having a child cannot be an imposition, sometimes, there are problems of violence or poverty, in short, many things that make it impossible to carry on with a pregnancy. So, I, a pregnant girl and a mother who accompanies me, remains for me an image of courage and love.”
