Pierpaolo Pretelli cries, Silvia Toffanin is also moved: “Giulia Salemi? Love conquers all”

Pier Paolo Pretelli was a guest on the episode of very true aired on Sunday, December 4th. The GF Vip Party presenter spoke about himself from his humble beginnings to the love he feels for his son and partner Julia Salemi🇧🇷 His story was so intense that even Silvia Toffanin she dissolved into tears.

The humble origins and the deep bond with the family

Pierpaolo Pretelli explained that initially his family did not fully support his dream of working in the entertainment world: “My family, being from the South, is very attached to a steady job, to serenity, to economic stability. In a sense, they are also my values.“. He said that they had to make many sacrifices:

We lived in a small house measuring 60 square meters, intended for earthquake victims. Four of us lived there. I shared a room with my brother. My mother’s dream was to buy a big house. We made so many sacrifices, we didn’t take a trip, we didn’t go to a restaurant, it was all a matter of saving money for the house. I missed opportunities, opportunities to live with my family. I never left Maratea, except to study in Rome at the age of 18. The priority was savings.

After he grew up, he did what he could to repay his parents’ sacrifices and enrolled in law school. However, he soon realized that this was not the right path for him and began to take his first steps in the world of entertainment.

Tears for Grandma Anna

Pierpaolo Pretelli also spoke of the special bond with his grandmother Anna. When he lived in Rome, the woman tried to support him, often giving him phone top-ups. He was at the University when he heard that she was dead. Moved said:

When they told me: “It was terrible” I already left to go to Maratea and on the way I was told that she was dead. It was agony. I was destroyed, heartbroken, it was part of my heart. I went back to Rome, but I didn’t have the heart to study. Christmas was approaching and I received a top-up – I don’t remember if it was 10 or 15 euros – on my cell phone on December 23rd. I called my mother, the other grandparents, anyone who had given me that recharge. I think she’s always close to me and helped me realize that I’m a father, that I love this job, that I’m passionate. My son has the same eyes as my grandmother. I don’t know if I believe in reincarnation. She is my comfort to this day. What would I like to say to her? This I never forget. There is a visceral love, I can’t get over it.

The relationship with Ariadna Romero

Pierpaolo Pretelli also had nice words for Ariadna Romero, his former partner with whom he had son Leonardo:

When my son was born and I picked him up, I was in a vale of tears. He had the giant hands typical of our family and I said, “He’s my son.” I haven’t seen him for a while, because now he’s in Miami with his mother. I have to say that I am very lucky because he has an incredible mother, who loves him madly, she is super apprehensive, affectionate. He’s there on business. We decided to take a few months off where she can go and fulfill these work commitments, the child can learn some English. He already speaks Italian and Spanish perfectly, it’s an opportunity for him too. Of course I miss him terribly, but I feel it daily.

Thus, he made it known that Giulia Salemi had proposed to Ariadna Romero to spend Christmas with her family: “Giulia invited Ariadna and our son to spend Christmas in Piacenza with Giulia’s family. However, Ariadna had a setback and had to stay there. We’re trying to figure out when I can go to Miami, whether it’s Christmas or just after, in January. I miss it so much“. Then he continued:

I imagined a united family. It was my dream. It wasn’t how I expected it, obviously Leo has all the love in the world from me. My life is completely dedicated to him. This is my life. Even when I was in Big Brother, I worked for him. To this day I cannot see the video where I walk out the door and see my son. I can not do it. My heart squeezes. I’m lucky to have Giulia, who has a disarming maturity about it. It respects my being a father, being connected to a creature and a family I created. The fact that there was serenity with Ariadna… it was my dream. After falling in love with Giulia, I expected to have an extended family. Work is important, but love is life.

Upon seeing Pretelli’s tears, Silvia Toffanin was also moved: “You made me cry from beginning to end, I cried more than you🇧🇷

Love by Giulia Salemi

Finally, he spoke of living with Giulia Salemi. Their love is growing: “Everything is fine with Giulia. December 26th is two years ago. She completes me, I have never had such a serene relationship in my life. With her I found the other half of the apple. She is sensitive, human, she helps me, she is mine businesswoman. He asks everyone: “Make Pier work, he’s very good”. He patronizes me like I’m mascara. Love is there and conquers everything”.
