I don't think the gossip will be about me and Angelo, there are other couples who could arouse curiosity. A question of intimacy, Sonia Bruganelli tells Chi: “I am here to take off an armor, and having a master like Carlo, so similar to a person who is dear to me, will give me the possibility of letting myself go also in dancing and doing things that I wouldn't have been able to share if I had someone like Angelo. In this case, I would have felt that I was carrying my privacy outside, I would never have done it, it would be a different contact…”.

We live one door away, behind this door (she points to the door to her living room which divides the two apartments – there is my daughter Silvia's bedroom, which is in the father's house, but if I open it it there is Silvia,” she explained on Instagram some time ago “Even for those who said at the time: “Ah she leaves the daughter with the father…” The reality is different.
