Simona Marchini: “Orphans of Carla Fracci, no one as magical as her”

“I am frozen at the news of Carla Fracci’s death: now I really feel much more alone … we were very friends, both as a dancer and as a woman, no one was as magical as her!”. The director and actress Simona Marchini does not hide her emotion at AdnKronos, in remembering the figure of the etoile who died today at the age of 84. “I knew her very well, she came to Todi at my Festival, she was also a guest on my TV show ‘Piacere Rai Uno’, we often met for dinner together, especially when she came to Rome: a personal relationship that was very precious to me, she had a natural tenderness that was obviously accompanied by the artist’s talent, truly unforgettable because it is truly unique “. Carla Fracci, underlines Simona Marchini, “has made the history of dance: Italian, European and international. Recently she gave a lesson at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, absolutely wonderful. She leaves an unbridgeable void and leaves all of us more alone,” orphans of such a unique and wonderful presence. We will never forget her. She has brought dance everywhere, in the countryside and in the most distant suburbs of the city, even with a very strong public commitment “. For Marchini,” Carla was a figure who can culturally relating to Humanism: cultural humanism and social humanism. She expressed a unique talent but was also unique as a person, as a woman of class but in the sense that she was endowed with an innate, interior class, which she then expressed also on the outside, immediately perceptible by those who were lucky enough to be close to her, for a moment or for a lifetime “.
