In loving memory of Peppino di Capri (1939–2026). 🕯️ Italy’s voice of summer died yesterday at 86 on his home island of Capri. He brought the twist to Italy, stormed the German charts with “St. Tropez Twist” in 1962, opened for the Beatles on their only Italian tour — and won Sanremo twice. Italy still sings “Champagne” today. Which song do you connect with Peppino di Capri? #PeppinoDiCapri #InLovingMemory #Emoria

Did you know? The screen's gentle giant was just as at home in the sky: Bud Spencer — born Carlo Pedersoli — earned a professional pilot's licence and logged over 2,000 flying hours. In 1984 he even founded his own airline, Mistral Air. Actor, Olympic swimmer, lawyer, inventor with his own patents — and a flight captain. All of that fit into a single life.
