Emma Marrone has not yet managed to metabolize the pain for the disappearance of his father Rosario. The man who had a symbiotic relationship with his daughter he’s gone in early September at the age of 66 due to leukemia. The singer from Salento was a guest of “Luce”, an event organized in Palazzo Vecchio in Florence by “La Nazione”, and during the interview she had an emotional breakdown.
“Now I’m a little offended with spirituality”
“After the death of a loved one, one returns to a dimension more spiritual. Is there room for spirituality in your life?” asked the director of Qn-La Nazione-Il Resto del Carlino-Il Giorno Agnese Pini. “No, now I’m offended, I don’t care – Emma replied – No, no! Now honestly I can not touch this theme of spirituality. It’s too complex, it’s too fresh, I’m too angry at life right now. So I don’t want to say uncomfortable things that tomorrow I end up in the papers and they also tell me I’m a heretic and then they hang me out here like Joan of Arc. But it’s the truth, now I’m a little offended with spirituality”.
“It’s like I was just born, like I’m starting over”
“Who is Emma Marrone today? I don’t know today, actually it’s as if you were just born – she explained – because when such enormous, tragic things happen to you, it’s as if everything that you have been and that you have done is reset. I know who I was before when I had a whole life around me. I had my father, I had all sorts of things. Now it’s like I’m starting over. As if… sorry”. The singer stopped and her eyes filled with tears.

“Now that dad’s gone, I’m a different person but I don’t get mad”
Emma Marrone tried to pick up the thread of the conversation: “Here we are…I don’t know, I know who I was before when he was around. Now that he’s gone I’m another person and I’m discovering it every day because life changes you, everything changes suddenly. I’m getting it, I was just born (…) I will learn to manage my work and my emotions in a new way. I still have many dreams, a wonderful family and I’m ready to carry on my battles, to help others because fortunately I don’t get angry, I don’t get hardened”. Speaking of the father from whom he inherited his passion for music, the artist added: “I called him Peter Pan because he never wanted to grow up. I have always appreciated his generosity. He was a nurse and when someone couldn’t get to the hospital he would go home in person to do the dressings”.
The affection of the fans: “Not at all diva or false, Emma one of us”
Emma Marrone was overwhelmed by the affection of the fans. A sign that his words have gone straight to the heart. Here are some comments collected on social media: “The truest of all. Come on Emma.. When my father left me at 19 I was angry like you…Time will dull this feeling…I am so close to you”, “You are a wonderful woman…I mean it…I hope that in this moment you find some of serenity…Sometimes life is unfair…I know…but what I know for sure is that inside every woman there is an enormous strength that only we know how to bring it out in times of need”, “How I understand you. Since January I lost my dad… I feel like a different person… as if I really had to start living differently. The pain is so much… too much ”,“ she She is not diva at all, nor false… Emma one of us. The best indeed! True to the marrow!”, “My dad died when I was in mummy’s belly. My mom died when I was 16 and my brother when I was expecting my child. Of course the scars remain and I feel lonely even though I have been repaid with a loving husband and three wonderful children. Always think that there are those who are worse off they told me. It’s never been a consolation for me.”
“When you lose a piece of your heart, that’s it”
And again: “I know what it means and this offense will never pass suffered unjustly. Life knows how to give but also take away a lot… you will learn to transform pain into energy and love for others… without ever forgetting the true, unique, unrepeatable and infinite love for your father! I wish you all the best!”, “Unfortunately, with the loss of a parent, life is no longer the same.. You begin to be reborn alone and for a long time it is no longer the same life… You are reborn but different… a hug”, “Emma….you are a force of nature…courage”, “Dear sweet Emma, I hope that life makes you forgive by giving you immense joy”, “I too have experienced your situation. Unfortunately, even as the years go by, you still feel that you need his advice. However, I have the impression that, when I have a problem, he helps me from up there to give me the solution”, “When you lose a piece of your heart it is like this”, “When you lose a parent, your heart shatters, you have no more who guides you, so you grow up all at once and over time you learn to live with the absence and in a certain sense you are reborn after having died a little…”, “I know how you feel, my dear Emma… It is a totally different world, everything changes… You continue to live, but you know that you no longer have a part of your heart”.
