A recent photo of Adriano Celentano appeared on the Web — a shot in which the 87‑year-old actor was captured in a car, aroused great interest among fans. In recent years, the performer has hardly appeared in public, so each new picture becomes an event and an occasion to discuss how the appearance of the legend of the Italian scene has changed.

Celentano remains an important figure in the history of Italian music: over the decades of his career, he has released more than 40 studio albums and is considered a pioneer of Italian rock and roll. In addition to the stage, he has successfully worked in films — as an actor and director — for which he has been awarded awards including the Golden Globe, Silver Ribbon and David di Donatello.

Before his fame, Celentano had many different professions — he worked as a watchmaker, a courier, a plumber, a grinder and an assistant in a printing house. The artist’s personal life also attracts attention: for more than half a century he has been married to Claudia Mori, together they raised three children — Giacomo, Rosita and Rosalind; they all appeared in the film “Yuppie‑doo” (1975).
