Dead Albertelli, Mina's lyricist and author of tv themes

Luigi Albertelli died, a lyricist who in his fifty-year career wrote for Mina, Milva, Iva Zanicchi, author of the initials for 'Ufo Robot' and 'Furia'. He was 86 years old, he was originally from Tortona (Alessandria). The news was given on Facebook by singer Tania Furia with whom - thanks to her surname - she had recently collaborated: "Bad news - he wrote on his social page -: Luigi Albertelli, important author of Italian music, television author and of famous advertising jingles, he left us. He was my teacher, even if he didn't like being called Maestro. He was Luigi. He taught me a lot ". "He had heart, strength, and an irrepressible creativity. I send a hug to his loved ones. And I keep one for me, because I will miss Luigi very much. Thank you. Nobody ever like you! I want to imagine you as Grendizer" Between the stars sprint and go! ", added the singer Tania Furia. The mayor of Tortona Federico Chiodi, wrote a memory:" The death of Luigi Albertelli leaves a great void in our city: not only because with his successes he had brought Tortona to the honors of the national news , but also because he leaves us a brilliant and extraordinary person with whom it was a pleasure to converse when we met him under the arcades of the Via Emilia, or to listen to him tell his many anecdotes and his hilarious 'life lessons'. What struck him - continued Chiodi - was his great enthusiasm and the ability to always look to the next challenge. Despite his highly successful career, he preferred to look to future projects rather than live in the past. Italian music has lost one of its teachers and we Tortonesi have lost a friend ". (ANSA).
