Adriano rolled into one, and a bully, and a faithful loving husband. Sublime art and hardworking man came from a simple family. Indeed, in many ways it is contradictory. But Celentano is unique: in part by nature, partly on the efforts and the work carried out on them.

Dream Home Adriano childhood It was ... to make a lot of money. No, not for themselves, but in order to provides numerous relatives, moved to the north of Milan in search of work. But not everything went well, because in addition to beautiful green meadows and normal fish market in the area, there was nothing remarkable.

Who would have thought that the guy who threw school after the fifth grade, come into the world! Adriano was given bad study that and I could not interest him. But he got a lot of fun working as an apprentice with his uncle, a watchmaker. Probably I would have done Celentano tremendous progress in this profession, if not a natural thirst for music: every Day after work Adriano Care outskirts of the city, where long strummed guitar songs of Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis.

After some time has had an effect, and acting talent Celentano: once the amateur vaudeville play-it brilliantly parodied popular at the time of the singer Louis Prima, who was very similar. There he was spotted and impresario, offered to implement acting skills to a professional level.

Four years have passed. Celentano involved in authoritative European contest of rock 'n' roll in Milan's Palace of Sports Ghiaccio.

Adriano played with the song "I'll tell you," Chao ", which during the performance added "Purely chelentanovskoy" plasticity. It is for her and got her artist first life "title" - "man on springs." And, of course, victory competition. A year later, he won the first prize at the festival of light music in Ancona, performing "Your kiss is like a rock." From that moment Adriano is considered recognized as "rock and rollers" of Italy.

So, Adriano 23 years old. To his credit - victory and love the fans. That's when he makes the revolutionary on the days of action: December 19, 1961 after the success at the festival San Remo, he organizes his own record company - "Clan Celentano." "Clan" united friends, associates of the singer. Within months, organized numerous tours around Europe, with appearances on television series their own show.

He has realized about four dozen vivid cinematic imagery from once with bit parts rock singers. For example, in the famous film Federico Fellini "Dolce Vita» - «La Dolce vita »(1960).
