Vasco Rossi he turns his gaze to the past and with a post on Instagram he remembers his beloved father, sharing some of his black and white portraits with his followers.
«It is 100 years since the birth of father Giovanni Carlo Rossi, Carlino.100 years!! It is an important number. He was born in 1923 and passed away in 1979 when he was 56 years old », writes the 71-year-old singer from Zocca on his social page. «He didn’t get to see anything I would later do, but he’d be proud because he always was… Even when I wasn’t doing much in my life… I was in college, but I was dragging myself around in total confusion because I didn’t know what I wanted to do, I just knew what I didn’t want to do. And he didn’t worry at all, it is clear that he had great faith in me and this always gave me a big push. When he disappeared his strength and determination, which were part of his character, got inside me and after that I did everything I did. My father was a truck driver. He loved his work because it gave him a sense of freedom… He kept the truck in Zocca because there was always work behind it on Sundays: he took care of it, he had the passion of a mechanic. And he washed the car every Sunday. He always went around in overalls, his hands were all ruined, because in those days he had to load the fruit crates one by one. During the war he was taken prisoner by the Germans and taken to Germany in a concentration camp, he was one of 600,000 Italian soldiers who said “no” to Nazi-Fascism, refusing to fight against the Italians and remaining in forced labor. When they released him, he returned home physically undermined. That’s why he died young, I think… He taught me uncompromising honesty and always gave me only love. He spoke little, but made me understand everything with a glance. That was enough.”
