Back in Milan after a business trip to California, Levante was delighted to be able to enjoy the infinite love of her little Alma and her partner Pietro Palumbo. It was the first physical separation from her daughter, born last February. Over the weekend, the multifaceted 35-year-old artist – songwriter, writer and model – chose to dedicate a heartfelt post to his father, who died prematurely when he was a child.
“Twenty-six years ago my father died. At six in the afternoon, on a hot day, in the house of Palagonia. For years her mother has said that he had died of “the evil of the century”. Even today the grandmother Rosalia does not say it, CANCER, does not say it. Sometimes it tires me to say it too, to hear it said. It took me a long time to get rid of that sense of shame for losing dad. I never asked my therapist why I was ashamed… but I have been talking about it aloud for many years now, often, even putting others in difficulty. Saying it, perhaps, served to convince me of her absence and to accept her. The Doc says that I cry like it happened yesterday, in reality it only happens if I take off the mask … Otherwise it’s twenty-six years and therefore a lifetime ago. It’s an adult pain, he has a driver’s license, he graduated, he graduated. Yet everything is extremely clear in front of my eyes », Levante wrote on her social page, quickly collecting messages of affection and closeness from her followers, famous or not.
Among the comments to the post, also that of Sandra Milowhich writes to the East: “I understand your grandmother. At one time using the word tumor was experienced as a stigma, we preferred to say “bad evil” or “incurable disease” as if being affected were a fault or worse a shame to hide. I lost my mother, terminally ill with metastases spread throughout her body, when I was only twenty-nine and pregnant with my first child whom she never saw born. She was 52. I identify with you, I understand you, I feel what you feel as if you were me“.
