Katia Ricciarelli: "Pippo and I loved and respected each other even after the divorce."

"I'm shocked. When I lost my mother, I felt alone. Now with his death, it just feels like... Enough..." Pippo Baudo's ex-wife, Katia Ricciarelli, deeply moved, remembers him to Rainews24. "They should have respected him more," she adds, "he didn't have the right people around him, he was surrounded by people who wanted to keep him in the dark about so many things, but now that he's dead, instead..." "He was the greatest of all," she emphasizes. "In recent years, we haven't been in touch, but that doesn't matter. When we saw each other again at the Verona Arena, we hugged and there was no need to talk, it was as if we'd met the day before. Even with a friend, you don't need to see each other every day." "He was always available to young people," she emphasizes. "He was a great man, we all know that."
