Ornella Vanoni died at the age of 91. In an interview last May with Verissimo he spoke about the passage of time and explained that he doesn’t want to die “too old.”
«For years I was always very controlled, now I feel more free. I have aged but I look with tenderness at my changing body, I look at it and say ‘we are no longer the same as before'”, a clear excuse for the years that will surely pass, but make no difference, or at least: this is life, a continuous “give and take”, he said.
Words about death
«For me, death is close, it’s easy to think so, I’m 90 years old, practically 91 years old – he added – I don’t want to die too late, too old, I don’t want to.
I want to live as long as I give something to life and life gives something to me. The day when life no longer gives me anything and instead I don’t want to live anymore. Then I will decide what to do.”
Ornella Vanoni admits that she is happy even though she has been “single” for years because of her choice. But sometimes, “I miss ‘sharing and petting,'” he explains.
«I never think about ’till death do us part’ – he told Silvia Toffanin – I live my story while it lasts. I cheated a lot, I let them know, but I also cheated. I have lived alone for many years, this is what I decided. The last story was disappointing, I felt guilty for choosing the wrong person. Sometimes I miss sharing and caressing.”
