“ANDre the person who loved me most in the world and I depended on your severe and sweet judgment, on your gaze on your love that protected me, your words, your ideals which still today are the beacon of my existence ». Thus, with a touching post on Instagram, Alba Parietti commemorates the anniversary of the death of her father Francescowhich took place on 8 August 1997. And remember that it was his father, a partisan, to teach her “to be free”.
Alba Parietti and the moving memory of her father
In her long post, accompanied by an image of her father in a gala uniform, the showgirl talks about the parent as the person who taught her “that courage defeats fear, that one must fight for one’s principles, you taught me that no one will ever step on my dignity, you taught me to be an individualistautonomous and above all to be free ».
Dad and partisan
The father, for Alba Parietti, was “the oak under which to rest, the mentor of anyone, friends, family the privilege of growing up with you“. And he was also a man who for his ideals of him justice and freedom fought firsthand: it is not the first time that the showgirl remembers him as the “Naviga Partisan”, his nom de guerre during the Resistance in the Piedmontese Langhe, the place of origin of the family.
The news of the loss of the father
An “oak” that never bent until 8 August 1997 when, Parietti recalls in her post, “I was in Sardinia. There is a knock on the door: ‘Madam, your mother on the phone’. I run down, as if with an omen. Three words break my heart forever: ‘dad is dead’. As always, when I suffer or rejoice, I fall silent, I become paralyzed, the frost, the cold confusion that makes me act like an automaton. I organize myself to leave and try to take note. But how can I do it? Are you really no more daddy ?! ».
An always vivid memory for Alba Parietti
But the memory of him, even after so many years, remains alive: “You taught me that education, personal fulfillment, work is a right before a duty. You taught me to love my neighbor as myself but never more than myself. Even if you dad loved me more than yourself. And today I find the same caring and protective eyes in the eyes of those who love me and think that that look belongs to you and belongs to us. I love you dad. Now and forever“.
