In love with Romania
[edit]His attraction for Romania was the main reason why he wanted to settle in the country. ''10 years ago I moved in Bucharest and this place is so familiar to me, the people are so dear to me. Both my family and my little boy feel great when they visit me”[1], Ciabattoni says during an interview for the Libertatea newspaper.
During all these years, the italian singer learned to love everything that is related to Romania, starting with the places to the people, food and music: ''stews, mamaliga, pork stews, I love them all even if they are different from what we are eating in Italy'' and he declares that he is deeply in love with the Gheorghe Dinicu's drinking songs.[2]
Personal life: marriage with Tamara Mazza
[edit]On 20th of August 2022 Giorgio married Tamara Mazza, his partner for many years. They walked to the altar in Italy, the entire scenario being similar to a fairytale. The location of the party was a beautiful villa located on the seaside shore. Giorgio Ciabattoni offered this information for Spectacola:
„I've been living in Romania for 10 years. I came here first ttime in 1998 while in holiday, where I sang at a wedding party. I've decided to move here after I noticed that the people here love italian music. My wife is italian and we've been living together in Romania. Our wedding took place in Italy, where we invited about 100 italians and 100 romanians. We planned the wedding in a large villa, located next to the seaside, in an italian style, and when it comes to music we also had a romanian singer, Bianca Sârbu.”[3]
The couple's godfathers are Marius Marian, the right hand of the billionaire Ion Țiriac, and his partner. During their wedding there were plenty of other recognized personalities from Romania, and the artistic moments were both italian and romanian so that the guests would feel pleasantly surprised.
”Among my guests there was also Rareș Bogdan. The italian guests were shocked, they were delighted to see the romanian guests, it was superb. When it comes to music, I invited my band, who is in Italy for 15 years. They sand all night long, but there was also Bianca who enchanted and etertained the public.”,[4] Giorgio declared.
Discography
[edit]In 2022 he released his first single, ''Stella'', written with teh singer and his friend Alessandro Canino and the master Simone Papi at the Sprint Media Group records label. They also made a video for this music single. The production and the mix-master were made by George Popa.
The italian soloist Giorgio Ciabattoni has an interesting story that he told:
''I came in Romania for the first time in 1998 during holidays and I enjoyed the atmosphere. We have many things in common, like the latin language. I returned in Romania in 2008 and I worr=ked at a casino, now I live in Bucharest where I have an italian wife and a child. I can confirm that I have plenty on concerts, weddings, festivals and shows to attend and I want to form a band of my own to sing along at events. In the videoclip directed by Claudiu Stan (MVPEntertainment) we also have an imaginary Stella, captured in a different scenery. The video was filmed at Ploiesti and it looks sensational, I invite you to watch it and discover its' story. We've been filming for about 4 hours but it was so worth it.”[5]
Giorgio participates in the same year at the first edition of We Love Music Festical, organised at Râmnicu-Vâlcea, where he will be deeply recognised by the public. ''After this video I hope I will release an album that I'm actually working on. I'm glad that the romanians appreciate the italian music, songs that aren't heard too often anymore. I sang such songs at the We Love Music Festival 2022 at Ramnicu Valcea,'' Giorgio also said.[6]
