We’ve done so much together that if he has to describe humanists, making sure he succeeds in all the things I’ve been by and trying to help him in, other than natural singing. And I continue to fulfill his dreams by helping new students have and excel in a career, especially in the opera world. We strive to keep Luciano’s memory alive through new films and theatrical productions. That’s why he really takes great care of every device built in his memory, trying to do as he taught us.

“I HAVE REALLY BAD VOICE BUT I LOVE THE MUSIC”

Pavarotti was always right, for better or for worse. Even if he says something unpleasant, the truth is used. He was such a real person. As an artist wife, I think it’s very special. He gives me a lot of advice about life. I was a positive person who always looked at life. He told me, ‘Try to fly high, always look at things from a different perspective because sometimes we just look down and always get sad or angry. Remember, you always have to look for the good,’ he said.

It’s very similar to the Italians, very open, very kind. It was really a great experience for me. We went to see the Hagia Sophia Mosque and we had our local guide who explained every little detail with empathy. He gives serious guidance, not just because he has to. You can feel that there is real sincerity in people. That’s why Turkey really excites me. I want to come again soon. I think there is too much historical obscurity that reflects different points of view.
