«I was very upset, I don't understand why Gino Paolo, who is a great artist, said such a thing».
Cristiana Ciacci, daughter of Little Tony and Giuliana Brugnoli, guest on Rai of the "Storie Italiana" program, commented on the words said by Gino Paoli during the final of the Sanremo Festival.
After singing his hits on the Ariston stage, the artist (88 and a half years old) let himself go into a story full of anecdotes about his artistic career. And he spoke of his colleague Little Tony: «He was the best ever. I remember when he came to play Cantagiro, then he returned home and the woman had cheated on him with some friends in her house». "You can't say these things," Gianni Morandi tried to stop him, when it was too late.
An indiscretion that the family of the deceased singer did not like at all, "made against a person who is no longer there and cannot be defended", observed Cristiana Ciacci.
Again: «I don't know if it's true or not, I don't think so, but if it were, I found it very indelicate. On social media I have received hundreds of messages of solidarity and closeness. I would like a public apology, what was done on the Ariston stage, which can be seen all over the world, is a public offense in all respects and I ask for myself, my family and all dad's fans a public apology."
