New previews in the Italian media of Ilary Blasi's autobiographical book, “What a fool. My truth”, which will be released on January 30, 2024. The journalist who will host the presentation of the volume, Francesca Barra, on La vita in diretta, as reported by Corriere dello Sport, would have mentioned a sensational scoop, perhaps linked to the end of the showgirl's marriage to Francesco Totti. “I can tell you there is a bomb inside. Yes, a bomb. Maybe if Francesco Totti will be at Sanremo he might be able to respond to what Ilary wrote in the book. No, not on the stage of the Ariston Theater. , before or after, at the time of Sanremo, if he goes there. But about the book, I can say that you will be amazed.”
Still around the separation of Blasi and Totti, Il Messaggero today publishes the interview with Cristiano Iovino, personal trainer and entrepreneur, who tells the Roman newspaper that he “had an intimate relationship” with Ilary. The showgirl explained in the Netflix docufilm that with her friend and hairdresser Alessia Solidani, she went to Iovino, in Milan, just to have an innocent coffee. These statements could carry weight in the separation case unfolding before the Court of Rome.

“At the beginning of November I fell asleep in Francesco's arms, the next morning I woke up with someone who looked a lot like him, but it wasn't him. shy, distant, absent, looking for excuses to go out: a dinner with friends, a game of cards or five-a-side football, padel…”. The plot is certainly neither new nor surprising: he and she are “love, then he meets someone else and the two separate. If it weren't for the two in question, Ilary Blasi and Francesco Totti, for twenty years one of the strongest and most most united in Italy. The story between the eighth king of Rome and the showgirl who did not want to be one among many is a fairy tale that made an entire country dream. There was never a crisis between the two. gossip, sometimes, but immediately reduced to silence by the happy normality of an exceptional family: the three children, the seaside holidays in Sabaudia, the dinners at home with friends, the usual ones. Until, unexpectedly, the dream is shattered. In these intense and sincere pages, Ilary Blasi lays himself bare, recounting the shadows and lights of his love story. The intense courtship, the overflowing passion, the wedding live on television like a royal family. The family which grew with the birth of Cristian, Chanel and Isabel. Francesco's painful farewell to football and, when there would finally be more time to be together, his sudden and incomprehensible departure. His coldness, the silences, the doubts, the lies, until the discovery of betrayal with another woman and the separation. Months of disbelief and pain that Ilary was able to face with great dignity and strength, clinging to her family, her friends and her work, in the worst moments a breath of fresh air that helped her to stay in touch with his most positive energies, but also the source of this independence which allowed him not to let himself be overwhelmed. “It was a horrible, but also intense, twelve months during which I discovered myself and my resources. I survived, but not only that: I am still standing. How stupid is the extraordinary but common story of pain and rebirth of a woman who lost love but never lost herself. With an unexpected ending.
