Remembering Toto Cutugno: A Tribute to the Italian Singer's Life and Legacy

It was August 22, 2023, when Toto Cutugno, then 80 years old, died defeated by prostate cancer. Today, the singer will be remembered by Mara Venier at Domenica In along with colleagues and friends through a story told by Toto Cutugno's son. Nico Cutugno: "My dad Toto Cutugno told me he was an engineer, I found out from the newspapers who he was. The disease? He did not accept it." While waiting for the interview that will air on Rai1 from 2:10 PM, let's find out who Nico Cutugno is. Nico Cutugno, who is Toto Cutugno's son Born in 1989, Nico Cutugno is the only child of the late singer-songwriter. The 35-year-old is the son of an extramarital relationship that Toto had with a woman named Cristina. At Domenica In, he reveals: "I was born out of love, so there was nothing wrong." Initially, the singer did not want to recognize the boy, it was his wife Carla Galli who pushed him to acknowledge the boy and to have a relationship with him. "Carla could have thrown me out of the house, but she didn’t. The first thing she told me was to recognize my son and give him my surname," Toto Cutugno had declared. Who is Nico's mother As mentioned earlier, very little is known about Nicolò's mother. In fact, very little: her name is Cristina, and she is a woman with whom Cutugno had a relationship while he was married, already for over twenty years, to his wife Carla. The singer's wife Toto Cutugno, the Italian singer-songwriter who died today at 80 years old, was married for almost 50 years to Carla. The two got married in 1971. A very united couple despite the fact she did not love the spotlight and always remained behind the scenes. The two never had children together. The father-son relationship After an initial period of detachment, father and son were able to build a beautiful relationship made of great complicity. "He is one of those many good Italian boys on whom our country should bet," the father said. After recognizing him, Toto Cutugno dedicated himself entirely to his son. "As a father, I deserve a 10 in loyalty. I have always taught my son Nico to live without disrespecting anyone," he said to Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni. But Nico also taught something to the artist: "He taught me to be sincere." The relationship between the two became even stronger when the boy decided to move to Milan to live close to his father. Private life, studies, and work Of Nicolò's private life, we know little except that he graduated in Economics and has a strong passion for music. He is also a musician, who deals with multimedia.
