Long post by Virginia Raffaele dedicated to the disappearance of Carla Fracci, who died this morning at the age of 84. “This morning they wrote me that you weren’t well, so I immediately looked for you, I wrote you a message on whatsapp, we used it all the time and you became very good with emoticons too. Then I got the news. I didn’t make it in time” , writes the actress on Instagram. “I don’t know how to describe to you what I feel, apart from a sincere pain for the loss of the artist you are and who you will always be – writes Virginia Raffaele, who made the imitations of the great dance diva famous – But there is something more , something personal. I have had the good fortune and the honor of being ‘your friend’ in recent years, thanks to your great self-irony, your availability, your education and your love for dance and for the show. never when we danced together, but above all I will never forget your dedication and seriousness even in doing a funny thing, your attention to detail, the pursuit of perfection, your education and sweetness, your rigor that knew how to be, incredibly, a ‘infinite freedom. At that moment I thought about how much I was learning from You “.” It is no coincidence – Raffaele writes – that you have become the greatest Italian dancer of all time. A part of me will’ dance ‘(unworthily) for always with you. Thank you for all that you have given me knowingly and unknowingly. Thank you for understanding the esteem I had for you. Thank you for hugging me several times, and thank you for correcting a port de bras for me. You will remain the only Giselle possible. Hi Carla, I love you. A big hug to Beppe “, concludes the actress.
