The Beatles at the Vigorelli Stadium in Milan

Today, Tuesday June 24, 2025

"Sixty years ago, to this very day. That morning, I faced my middle school exams, my stomach tight with anxiety. That afternoon, carried by a surge of energy I didn’t yet know how to call freedom, I ran to the Vigorelli. Without my father knowing—he would have killed me if he had found out. By eight that evening, I was back at the dinner table, silent, my heart still pounding, hiding a wonderful secret deep inside. That day taught me everything: how to defy, how to choose, how to live.

And while I was savoring my own small personal revolution, behind the stage at the Beatles concert, Carlo Orsi was taking photographs. I didn’t know him yet. I didn’t know that this man, a few years older than me, would one day become the love of my life. But we were already there—in the same place, in the same moment—linked by a spark that destiny would choose to ignite later on.

Today, sixty years later, I carry with me the undimmed pride of that girl who wasn’t afraid to take risks. And I carry Carlo in my heart, as I do every day. One day. One choice. One secret. A life truly lived. Together."
