Raffaella Carrà has spoken of her grandchildren on many occasions, describing them as her family or as the children she never had.

Japino said that a glance between the two was enough to spark the spark of love. The two were inseparable for 17 years: from 1980 to 1997. The love then ended but a great understanding remained between Sergio Japino and Raffaella Carrà, a friendship consolidated by 17 years of love.
