Singer Svetlana Svetikova described singer Toto Cutugno, who died on August 22, as a legend in an interview with socialbites.ca. He added that he felt like an attractive woman on stage with the Italian musician and that he would always remember flirting with her.
I will never forget the duet with Toto Cutugno. Naturally he is a legend. But when I went on stage with her, maybe for the first time I felt like a really attractive woman. I was just 23 years old. I did not expect such an open and passionate attitude. This both scared and fascinated me. His incredible inner drive, his passion, his admiration for women. The music speaks for itself. Women still ask me and scold me for not marrying him. But to be honest, I’m sure it’s a very nice flirtation. And I will always remember this flirtation! Blessed memory of a great man,” she said.
ANSA news agency reported that Italian singer Toto Cutugno passed away on 22 August. As the late Danilo Mancuso’s manager explained, the singer-songwriter passed away after a long illness. On July 7, Toto Cutugno celebrated his 80th birthday.
The singer has repeatedly come to Russia with concerts. As the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper wrote, shortly before the concert “The Incredible Adventures of Italians in the Kremlin” in 2004, Toto Cutugno fell in love with Svetlana Svetikova, the performer of Esmeralda in the musical “Notre Dame de Paris”. According to the publication, at one of the rehearsals he admitted that he was in love with Svetikova. The duet of Svetikova and Cutugno closed the four-hour concert, and on the Kremlin stage the singer proposed to her and offered to go to Italy with her.
