They married in 1970, defying skeptics who doubted their relationship because of their cultural differences and age gap. Together, they built a partnership based on shared passion, family, and music — one that would soon captivate millions. In the 1970s and 1980s, Al Bano and Romina Power became icons of the Italian romantic pop era. Their songs celebrated love, joy, and the beauty of life, offering an escape from the struggles of everyday existence. Their harmonious voices and on-stage chemistry made them one of Europe’s most beloved duos.
They toured extensively, performing across Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, where they developed an especially devoted following. Their songs weren’t just popular; they became part of Europe’s cultural soundtrack, played at weddings, family gatherings, and national festivals. Off-stage, Albano and Romina built a family together, raising four children — Ylenia, Yari, Cristèl, and Romina Jr. Their home in Cellino San Marco, surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, became a haven of music and creativity.
