Ornella Vanoni he died at the age of 91 at his home in Milan, the city where he was born and never left. She made “Milaneseness” one of her main characteristics and was one of the most beloved and famous “princesses”. His passing left a huge void in those who knew him, but also in those who had the opportunity to meet him only through his music. Maurizio Porro tells us well who Ornella Vanoni really is Night courierrevealed the last phone call the singer received a few days ago. A phone call that was, somehow, unlike any other.
“I’m not well, pain in the spineI don’t know, I find it strange, but I went to the clinic in Pavia where they are very nice, I know them, they will fix me“, said the singer to him, who has been suffering from many illnesses lately. He spent the summer between the Monzino hospitals in Milan and Don Gnocchi due to heart failure which caused the appearance of fluid in his lungs.”They cured me and I am better now“, he said to Fabio Fazio a few weeks ago on TV, as if he wanted those times, which were over, to be behind him. Instead, in the last few days, something was not working in his body, and he realized it.”Now I have to be quiet, I’m in pain, you know how knife stabbing your back. No, I don’t go to Fazio on Sunday, I go there once every two weeks, I’ll go next Sunday“, he said on the last phone call to Porro.

Vanoni has become a permanent and enjoyable presence on Italian Sunday nights, as he has the ability to talk about everything, even taboo topics, with such lightness and naturalness that one can only listen to him, perhaps with a smile on his lips. He didn’t even have time to go to the clinic in Pavia, where he was sure they would cure him, because he died at home in Milan. Milan. In Fabio Fazio’s last appearance, last Sunday November 2 dedicated to the saints, it is presented with funeral flower pillows on the occasion of the holiday.
“There are people you say: what should I give them? They have so much that you don’t know what to give I found some colored coffins and in the meantime, while you wait, it becomes a chest, a convenient place to put things you don’t know where to put. Until that day comes. I would go with the white one, decent, simple and linear“, he joked that day with Fazio.
