Roberto D'Antonio, 65, is the hairdresser-guru of ladies, actresses, stars and politicians. It has a salon a stone's throw from Montecitorio, via dei Prefetti. And today he talks about it in an interview with Corriere della Sera. Starting with VIP clients like Fiorello: “Someone born gifted, generous with people. I was already friends with his wife Susanna, Olivia and Angelica are like my daughters. She cut her ponytail in Milan, then she came to me with her hair down to her shoulders, I cut it short. I painted it for this Sanremo, with a side part from the 40s. Laura Morante also wanted a change. He was filming Another Ferragosto. “Ask Paolo Virzì if it’s okay.” Now he wears them short with bangs.”
Benigni and Braschi
He also worked with Roberto Benigni, for whom he is a lucky charm: “I did Nicoletta Braschi’s hair for La vie est belle. He took me to Cannes. In the evening I was tired, I didn't want to go to the party. “No, you have to come.” “I don’t have a dress.” He gave me one of his shirts, it was tight, it was cut in the back. I put on a tie, jacket and sweatpants. Roberto lent me the shoes, but they were a size 40 and I wear a 42, I was dying of pain.” Sophia Loren was also one of the customers: “She called me last September, for the Armani evening, I I had been waiting for all my life. A magical encounter. “Madam, even if I am homosexual, I love you twice, as a man and as a woman.”And what am I saying?» she replies, to make me understand that it doesn't matter at all. And he kissed my hands.”
Renato Zero engaged?
However, he denies rumors that he is engaged to Renato Zero: “Unfortunately no, he's just my closest friend. Exceptional man, poet. He loved going to Ostia to eat. He was driving. At a red light, we hit the car in front of us. A boy and a girl, in tank tops and Bermuda shorts, come down. Very angry. Renato goes to meet him. They recognize it. And suddenly they kneel as before a god. “Come on, think about it when I tell my mother who I like in a group with Renato Zero!” As for the Italians' “aunt” Mara Venier, she says that “it was I who invented her blonde.” But he also worked on Maria Elena Boschi: “So beautiful that it doesn't take much. When I gave her bangs, it caused a sensation. We often have lunch with her boyfriend Giulio Berruti, but we call each other by “lei”. My name is even Francesco Rutelli like you, because that is how the mayor of the city was addressed. Very good when he ruled Rome. Only in private do I call him Francesco.”
Meloni and Giambruno
Giorgia Meloni, on the other hand, is not his client, “but we are very good friends. Sometimes I'd blow-dry him on the fly.” While he was on the way, Andrea Giambruno says he never noticed his blowing: “Who looked at him? Giorgia is so superior that she eclipsed, she was ten steps ahead.” Finally, a few words on the “reinforcement” of Minister Lollobrigida: “Who is he from the train? Then he can do what he wants, he is sincere.”
