Raffaella Carrà: Legacy and tributes five years after passing

Five years after her passing, director and author Sergio Japino has shared a tribute to the late Italian entertainer Raffaella Carrà, describing their relationship as an ‘indestructible union’ and a ‘timeless love.’ Japino and Carrà shared a 17-year romantic relationship and a 40-year professional partnership, working together on successful programs such as ‘Pronto, Raffaella?’ and ‘Carràmba! Che sorpresa.’

Reflecting on her career, Carrà is remembered for her authenticity and her return to television on ‘The Voice of Italy’ via Rai Due. During that period, she expressed the challenges of returning to the screen after a four-year absence, noting the pressure of constant scrutiny and the emotional difficulty of judging contestants during blind auditions.
