Do you recognise the boy in the picture? He is a famous Italian performer and actor. He was born in January 1936.
It is interesting that his birthday coincided with the holiday of jokes and entertainment. Jokes and humour accompanied him all his life.
Adriano was the fifth child in the family. When he was born, his mum was 44 years old. And the boy was named in honour of his older sister, who passed away before he was born.
The family lived pretty poor. And when his father passed away, the financial situation of the family became even worse. And Adriano had to leave school at the age of 12.
He got a job as a watchmaker’s assistant. Interestingly, repairing clocks became one of his favourite occupations. He enjoyed fixing old clocks all his life.
The boy managed to parody famous people very accurately. And his sister sent a picture of her brother impersonating one of the famous people to the contest.
He won the prize and received a considerable amount of money as a reward. Adriano was very fond of rock music. This love for this musical genre was instilled in him by his mum.
She was very fond of such music, and it sounded at their home from morning till evening. Then he began to compose music himself, and his friend wrote poems.
Next was participation in various musical competitions. Celentano can be considered self-taught, because he only finished 5 grades.
And films with his participation are known to everyone.
