Emma Marrone tells the story of her many families and the idea she has of motherhood. The partner, in the equation, is far from necessary
“I’m single but not alone, I’m not satisfied” she confesses Emma Brown to Michelle Murgiaon the pages of Vanity Fair. The Salento singer, at the peak of her career, does not feel a strong call to motherhood. “I never pictured myself as a motherhe reveals. “There were moments in which I said to myself: ‘If it comes it comes, children will also be born out of unconsciousness, but it wasn’t my goal'”. And finally, on gestation for others: “Why do I have to have a partner to be a mother?” The problem, she explains, is the “medieval vision” of parenting in Italy.
Emma Marrone: love and professional life
—
Who saw her on stage at the Gay Pride, with the LGBT flag in hand, knows what Emma Marrone is made of. Famous for her powerful voice and sunny disposition, Emma is a strong and tenacious person who had to face many challenges in life, such as the cancer and the loss of father. And that she’s not afraid to show herself for who she is, without petty calculations or counterweights. And her determination already emerges from the first words of the interview with Michela Murgia: “I didn’t want to be a singer, I wanted to be a famous singer”. “My love life? I’m single, but I don’t feel alone. I have many families,” she stated. This sentence perfectly sums up her attitude towards love and relationships: “My goal in life is to fulfill myself as a person, not to find a partner. Of course, there are evenings when I would like to have someone next to me, even just to share the bed, but that doesn’t mean I would accept anyone. I prefer to be single rather than settling for someone who doesn’t make my heart beat. My families are my community of affections people I care about the most: old friends, work colleagues with whom I have shared important moments. Even here in Rome I have created a group of close friends, who are my safe haven. I can be without a partnerbut not without these special people in my life. Finding a man is not easy, but that’s not my priority”
motherhood and gestation for others
—
Having children is not a priority for Emma Marrone, even if this is not necessarily excluded. “I never imagined myself a mother. Children are also made out of unconsciousness, but my priority is music. I have no ideological resistance on the gestation for others, but if I wanted I could resort to fertilization. In Italy, however, you have to be a couple and it is one medieval vision. Why do I have to have a partner to be a mother? First they tell you: you don’t have enough children, then you try to have them and you they put a thousand obstacles”. And about potential partners: “The men are weak and scared”. They fail to interface with her generation of independent women: “They have fear of independent and strong women. It is as if we have taken a step forward to be freer and in the meantime they are still in the same place as before. Finding a man who isn’t afraid of us, of what we’ve been capable of becoming, is very difficult.”
Emma and the death of her father

Emma has always shown that she is a strong and determined woman who does not let herself be discouraged by difficulties and who tries to convey positivity and hope to her fans. Among the themes that are closest to her heart there are certainly family, friendship, love, music and social issues. But she is thefather’s absence, who passed away last year due to leukemia, left one of the deepest scars in the singer’s life. “My father was not only a father figure, but also a son, a friend, a companion in adventureshe reveals. It was he who sensed Emma’s talent and encouraged her.
“My father was an example of justice and generosity; raised me with these values. That’s why I always speak up when I believe in a just cause and have supported the Sea Watch humanitarian vessel.” A few hours before his father’s death, he says: “I was away for a couple of days and I had heard it the night before. I told him I’d be back soon and he said he was waiting for me. Instead the next morning, when my brother called me, I immediately understood from my mother’s voice that it had happened something terrible. But I have no regrets, because I am convinced that my father wanted to spare me the pain of his death. He wanted me to remember how a happy and full of life manas in ours last call together”.
