She is also the first woman to have performed at the San Siro stadium, the first at the Circo Massimo.
And now, Laura Pausini, could add another important milestone: an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song with Io Sì (seen), theme of the film "The Life Ahead / La Vita Davanti A Sé", which marks the return to the front to the camera, after 10 years, of Sophia Loren directed by her son Edoardo Ponti, in theaters on November 3, 4 and 5 and on Netfix from November 13.
"I don't even want to think that it could happen. Because if I get high and then I don't win I get a collapse. In the meantime, I celebrate the possibility of nomination", says the singer who wanted to make five versions of the song that was proposed by the producers to the Academy (in addition to the one in Italian written by Laura with Niccolò Agliardi - the only one that will be heard in the film -, also in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese), enclosed in an Ep, due out tomorrow for Atlantic Warner.
Far be it from her, however, any ambitions as an actress, as already done by other illustrious colleagues.
"No, no, for heaven's sake. I don't know how to do it. I'm not able to invent myself to be someone else. It's not that if you're famous, you can do everything."
Io Sì (seen), Laura Pausini's first collaboration with Diane Warren who wrote the original version, (11 Oscar nominations, 1 Grammy Award, 1 Emmy Award, 1 Golden Globe) and first unpublished for the singer after "Fatti Sentire" was the turning point after a period of creative crisis.
"With the lockdown I felt lost - she says, in zoom link from Rome -. Instead of bringing out my worries, I wondered if anyone was interested in me singing again".
Little desire to get to work on a new album (which could arrive at Christmas 2021), "I kept putting off the moment to start listening to the over 500 songs that arrived. Then came Diane Warren's proposal. And I understood why so far. I had said no to other film projects: I was expecting to get excited like this, to recognize myself in a film that tells about two people, about encounters that can change life and can save it. And it was also the right time to collaborate with Dianne after years of we knew ".
And the project also saw the meeting with another great woman and artist.
"It is thrilling to see Sophia on stage (who plays a Holocaust survivor who takes care of the children of prostitutes, ed) and to be able to appreciate her generosity in interpreting an intense story, Italian and with such a socially important meaning and unfortunately still very relevant. The first time we met was in 2003 and there has always been empathy between us. She is maternal, protective and her being an icon in everything she does is always striking. Italian woman in the imagination of foreigners ".
Sophia Loren, reveals Laura Pausini, will also be in the video clip of the song.
And speaking of women, Laura talks about gender equality without, however, invoking pink quotas.
"It must have who it deserves, whether it be a woman or a man. It is true that there are disparities, but it seems to me that sometimes we exaggerate a bit on this issue. What we must fight is violence. And that's what we wanted to shout with the concert 'One, none, one hundred thousand', which was postponed to next June. Violence is unacceptable and unfortunately the lockdown did not help to fight it ".
As it has not helped and indeed has destroyed the music sector (and culture in general).
A few days ago is the demonstration of the trunks in the square in front of the Duomo in Milan.
"We live in uncertainty and each of us wants to propose something to remedy. There are 570 thousand people among the workers and certainly it is not us singers who can help them alone. Fedez has proposed a fund, but I think it is the Government that has to take care of it. : with 600 euros per person it would take something like 350 million euros. We did not get an answer to the appeal launched some time ago, but the situation is complicated. It is not us singers who need financial help, but the technicians and only the State can intervene to protect them ".
Because, he stresses again, art must be safeguarded: "it is what characterizes us as a country. Art saves: where did we take refuge when we were closed at home? In music, cinema, books. It concerns culture, but above all the emotional state of the human being ".
