When is Sati Casanova's wedding? Sati Casanova admitted that stardom prevented her from getting married. Beautiful wedding day of Sati Casanova

It was heard throughout the country in 2002 after participating in the most popular musical project of Channel One “Star Factory”. In December of the same year, she, Sasha Savelyeva and Irina Toneva became part of the female trio “Factory”. This project became very successful - compositions performed by its participants “About Love”, “Factory Girls”, “Fish” and others soared to the top of the Russian charts. According to Sati, the sudden dizzying success led to the fact that she caught the “star” disease. The newly minted singer lashed out at her colleagues, drivers and housekeepers. It was this difficult character that caused failures in his personal life.

“I remember about 15 years ago, shortly after the explosion of the very first “Star Factory” (and there were many of them after), these very “star” and “crown” syndromes showed up in an acute form... My drivers, poor ones, suffered from me. The housekeeper got it too, and I also put a lot of strain on my colleagues (I mean Ira and Sasha)... I’m still not a gift, but believe me, it’s a lot better than before! (That’s why they “didn’t marry me” before!) At that dangerous “star” time, only my sisters and parents could put me in my place. And thanks to them for that!” - Casanova shared on her microblog on Instagram (the author’s spelling and punctuation are unchanged. - Note ed.).

Now Sati Casanova is engaged in a solo career and is a happy wife of a loving husband. In early October, in her native Kabardino-Balkaria, the singer married an Italian photographer Stefano Tiozzo. The ceremony was held in traditional Caucasian style. The wedding was attended mainly by friends and numerous relatives of the lovers. It is known that Sati and Stefano performed a Kabardian dance. The bride appeared in a stunning national snow-white dress with golden embroidery. The groom also tried on a Kabardian suit. Sati has repeatedly said that Stefano respects the national traditions of the Caucasus, therefore he is ready to observe them both during the wedding ceremony and in everyday life.

The lovers immediately announced their intention to hold two weddings: in the bride’s homeland and in the groom’s homeland. Therefore, two weeks after the Caucasian wedding, Sati and Stefano went to Italy, where they had a second wedding. The newlyweds flew from Italy on their honeymoon so that after a series of wedding celebrations they could finally be together. They chose one of the most romantic places on Earth for their honeymoon - the Maldives.

At the Caucasian wedding ceremony, Sati and Stefano were dressed in national costumes

Sati (full name Sataney) was born in the village of Verkhniy Kurkuzhin, Kabardino-Balkaria, into a large family, where she was the eldest of four sisters. The future star set off to conquer the capital after her third year at the Kabardino-Balkarian College of Culture. In Moscow, the girl entered the Gnessin Academy of Music for a pop-jazz vocal class. In parallel with her studies, Sati made a living by singing in casinos and restaurants.

Casanova began her ascent to the musical Olympus with the television show “Star Factory” in 2002. In the finals of the project, she ended up in the group “Factory” created by producer Igor Matvienko, where she performed for eight years. She left the team in 2010 to pursue a solo career.

Benefactor in Moscow

Casanova's personal life was a closely guarded secret for many years; the singer was in no hurry to make public the names of her rich and influential fans. According to Sati herself, she was in no hurry to get married because she was looking for a man like her father - generous, noble, who would not try to make her a housewife.

The artist said that she came to Moscow from Nalchik, thanks to the ex-president of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (and at that time, a successful businessman) Arsen Kanokov. Having once seen a young singer perform in a restaurant, he admired her talent and offered to help if she suddenly decided to move to the capital. For the first year of living in Moscow, Kanokov paid Casanova for all expenses, including payment for a rented apartment.

President's son-in-law

Thanks to rich fans, the singer already at the beginning of her career had all the attributes of the sweet life - a luxurious apartment on the 35th floor of an elite residential complex near Mosfilm, a Bentley car. “This apartment is a gift from a person with whom I had a long relationship,” Sati admitted in an interview. – I still remember him with great warmth. Imagine: when I entered here, everything was there, right down to slippers, bed linen and dishes.”

The generous donor was Kazakh oligarch Timur Kulibayev (son-in-law of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev), with whom Casanova’s secret relationship lasted about three years. Receiving luxurious gifts, Sati, as she herself admitted, loved and obeyed her man in everything, hoping that someday they would become a family. But Kulibayev looked at the relationship differently.

“Besides me, he had other women, and he did not see anything reprehensible in this. He joked that his love was enough for everyone. I cried, but endured, justifying my boyfriend by saying that he was an Eastern man, and for Muslims this position is quite natural,” the singer later recalled. – After living for three years in complete submission and a feeling of my own insignificance, I realized that I had lost myself. The spring compressed in my soul suddenly straightened out, briefly making me strong and decisive, and I put an end to this strange relationship.”

Tyrant

After a while, Sati had a new admirer, again of Eastern blood, who turned out to be the complete opposite of her former lover. Without giving a name, Casanova recalled that the man literally “strangled” her with his total control and excessive care. He made decisions about what projects she could participate in, what events she could attend, and who she could communicate with. “If earlier I dreamed that my beloved would always be there, then during this relationship I secretly wished the opposite,” Sati noted. The singer was able to put an end to this painful relationship three years later.

Star suitors

In 2011, rumors appeared about Casanova’s affair with the program director of Russian Radio, Roman Emelyanov. They first appeared together at the premiere of the film “Suicides”. The couple neither refuted nor confirmed their close relationship, having arranged an intriguing correspondence on social networks. Roman turned to the singer: “Well, have we been declassified?” “So it was a bad secret!” – Casanova answered and added. “Marriages are made in heaven...” However, there was no continuation of the love story.

A year later, Andrei Kobzon, the son of Joseph Kobzon, was listed as the singer’s groom. The couple appeared together at the celebration of the 75th anniversary of Joseph Davydovich. The young people refused to give any comments on this matter.

Famous Producer

And in September 2013, the tabloids started talking about the singer’s new romance. While performing at a club on Pokrovka, Casanova met music producer Arthur Shachnev. The romance developed rapidly, the young people appeared together at all social events. In 2014, the engagement took place, and everyone around was only talking about the upcoming wedding.

But unexpectedly the couple broke up. Casanova’s comment about the reason for the breakup was very short: “He’s just not my person. But I’m not his.” Arthur himself admitted after a while: “Parting with this woman was very difficult for me, because I loved her very much. But she doesn't have me. The difference was that I loved, but I didn’t tell anyone about it. And she told everyone that she loved me, but she didn’t love me. When we broke up, she gave numerous interviews about our relationship and talked about how difficult it was for her with me. I don’t want to comment on this in any way, I’ll say one thing: this experience gave me a clear understanding of the word “hypocrisy.” Before that, I didn’t know what it was.”

In the same 2014, the media wrote about Sati Casanova’s new romance with the Moldovan singer Arseniy Toderash (ex-soloist of the O-Zone group). The artists released a joint video “Until Dawn”, after which their duet was called a love duet. The newly-minted couple appeared together on the red carpet, and very romantic photos were published on the Internet. True, the artists later stated that they were connected exclusively by creative and friendly relations.

Ideal man

In 2016, it became known that the singer was going to marry the 55-year-old president of Rosvodokanal, Alexander Shenkman. They even claimed that Casanova was pregnant and therefore the wedding would take place in the very near future. Although the couple’s relationship was no longer a secret, Sati tried not to advertise this romance. She explained this by saying that for a long time she could not meet a man who would become a real support and support for her. And now, when she found her ideal, she decided to remain silent, because “happiness loves silence.” But Sati could not keep this “happiness”, the wedding never took place...

Future husband

It seemed that Casanova would remain the “eternal bride,” but in August of this year, shortly before her 35th birthday, the artist officially announced that she was getting married. The singer's chosen one was the Italian photographer Stefano Tiozzo. As Sati said, they met in Germany at the wedding of the singer’s best friend and brother Stefano. Casanova and her fiancé have already submitted an application to the registry office on Butyrskaya Street and are now preparing for the celebration, which will take place in October. The lovers are planning to arrange three weddings at once - one of them will take place in the bride’s homeland in Kabardino-Balkaria, the second in Italy, and the wedding itself will take place in Moscow. The future newlyweds plan to spend their honeymoon in Sati’s favorite country – India. The Italian is already learning Russian specifically to communicate with the bride’s relatives.

This is how the singer herself describes her state on the eve of the celebration: “Whenever I was close to the wedding, I began to have disturbing dreams, all sorts of signs arose - as if God was taking me away from this step. Apparently, the wrong people were nearby. Now everything is so easy, joyful and somehow childish! I'm almost 35, and my condition is like that of a 15-year-old. For the first time, I’m not afraid of anything and I’m not complicating anything. Everything is simple and clear. The heart knows - this is the right person!

In an interview with HELLO! singer Sati Casanova spoke for the first time about the fact that she was going to get married. The singer's chosen one was the Italian photographer Stefano Tiozzo. Introducing the love story of a couple.

The news that Sati Casanova was getting married has been heard more than once - however, always at the level of rumors. But now everything is serious. A man appeared nearby with whom Sati really intends to connect her life, and now she will be connected with Italy - the country of the sea and the sun. But where can you get them in rainy Moscow to recreate this atmosphere in a photo shoot? We decided to try it, and it looks like we succeeded. After all, the main thing is the mood. And now Sati’s feeling is extremely elevated.

A few days after the interview, she was waiting for a meeting with her beloved man, with whom she would very soon get married. The history of their relationship is full of mystical signs and symbols, to which the singer attaches great importance.

Sati, are you on the verge of important changes in your life?

Yes it's true. And I decided to tell about it myself - so that the news could be heard first-hand, because in recent years my personal life has become overgrown with too many rumors and gossip. I'm getting married. Although I still don’t quite believe it myself. It would seem that every woman has a “built-in program” of unconditional readiness for marriage. I'm probably somewhat unconventional in this regard. Every time I was close to the wedding, I began to have disturbing dreams, all sorts of signs appeared - as if God was taking me away from this step. Apparently, the wrong people were nearby. Now everything is so easy, joyful and somehow childish! I’m almost 35, and my condition is like that of a 15-year-old. For the first time, I’m not afraid of anything and I’m not complicating anything. Everything is simple and clear. The heart knows - this is the right person.

Who is he?

His name is Stefano - with an emphasis on the letter E. He is a photographer, Italian. As one of my friends admitted, she was always sure that I would marry a foreigner. But I couldn’t even imagine this. I believed that such marriages were doomed - due to different mentalities, outlooks on life, and language barriers. Of course, I don’t know how everything will turn out for us, and I don’t want to guess, but at the moment there is absolutely nothing stopping us.

How did you find each other?

We met less than a year ago. It happened in Germany, at the wedding of my friend Marina Missbach and Stefano’s brother, Cristiano Tiozzo, a famous pianist. The ceremony was held in the Indian-Vedic style, with appropriate rituals and ceremonies. But, despite the amazing beauty and fabulous atmosphere around, I was in a skeptical mood. By that time, I was disappointed in the relationship, sat and thought: “Why all this performance?! People still don’t know how to truly love and understand each other.”

The first person I saw after the bride and groom was Stefano, who was sitting next to them and taking photographs. I remember the sudden interest that arose in me - who is this guy? Although I usually don't pay attention to strangers. Many of Marina and Christiano's friends performed, and I also sang several songs. And I noticed how Stefano looked at me - a gaze of study and admiration. He knew nothing about me, except that I was a singer from Russia, Marina’s friend. He said, "You have a beautiful voice." I nodded in response: “Thank you.” Then he admitted: “You then looked at me with such a condescending mockery - like, that’s an original compliment for me too.” According to him, I seemed to him an arrogant conceit. And he made a similar impression on me. As it turned out later, Stefano was in the same skeptical mood as I was in relation to women and marriage. He also managed to get burned. Apparently, that’s why he and I didn’t see each other that evening.

When did you see it?

This was preceded by certain signs. There was a time when Swami, the spiritual master and Brahmin who performed the wedding ceremonies, distributed gifts to everyone from the bride and groom. People stood in line, came up, bowed to him and received a gift. Stefano and I found ourselves in this line next to each other. And while we stood together for about five minutes, three people passing by whispered to me: “Listen, you look great with him! Pay attention to him.” After receiving my gift, I sat next to Swami, on the left side. Stefano sat on the right. And suddenly Swami, smiling slyly, pointed at it to me and gave me a thumbs up. And then he drew a heart in the air. Then I thought that everyone around me had definitely gone crazy. And she laughed. This is where our communication with Stefano ended.

We met a few months later - at a holiday where Marina invited me. That’s when Stefano and I started talking and became sincerely interested in each other. We walked and talked a lot, and mutual sympathy became obvious. I was impressed by his humor, his way of thinking.

What language did you speak?

In English, as now. Although I plan to learn Italian, he has started learning Russian and is already speaking very well. He says: “I have a serious incentive: I want to learn the language before the wedding so that I can communicate with your parents.” He does it for them! He speaks with such a touching Italian accent, it's so funny and cute. In my opinion, he accomplishes a small feat - every free minute he sits down and learns Russian.

At what point did you start to feel like a couple?

During the second meeting, I discovered how extraordinary he sees the world. I started to take a closer look and realized that he was also infinitely interested in how I think, how I live. This is how mutual attraction arose. We exchanged phone numbers. Soon Stefano was going on a work trip to India, to the Holi festival in the city of Vrindavan - I was there twice, and it made an indelible impression on me. Stefano is a landscape photographer who shoots landscapes and has traveled to almost all the most beautiful places in the world. He is amazingly talented and has thousands of fans who adore his work and follow him around the world on expedition trips.

Having learned about his trip to India, whose culture I adore, I immediately made him promise to send me his best photographs from there. Stefano sent pictures every day. Some shots brought tears of admiration to my eyes. I was shocked! Probably at that moment I was surprised to discover that I fell in love. The Italian? Photographer? In such a short time? This is unreal! Returning to Italy, Stefano suggested we talk on Skype. When we got in touch for the first time, I fell into a stupor. I saw the same thing happening to him. He said, “If you worry as much as I worry, or even a hundredth part, that gives me hope that you feel about the same as I do.” I say: “Oh yes! I worry no less than you, and maybe more.” At first they communicated with such half-hints, and then they began to talk very openly, sincerely, without any coquetry. I honestly admitted that I had and still have certain fears about relationships, and he told me about his. A week later it seemed to us that we had known each other for a hundred years. Our conversations took 3-5 hours every day, we simply could not stop.

How did this virtual communication develop into real communication?

In April I had a concert in Geneva. Now I travel a lot around Europe to various ethnic festivals with my project Sati Ethnica. It is much more interesting than my pop projects, but is not as commercially successful yet. Stefano, a little embarrassed, asked: “How would you like it if I came to you in Geneva?” I agreed. And again we felt completely natural next to each other, everything was transparent and understandable. Then the relationship began in earnest. A few weeks later we spent four magical days in Riga, wandering around the city and talking a lot. For the first time I felt that there was a person nearby who did not want to change me one bit. And I perceive him as he is. All previous relationships, unfortunately, were based on the fact that “everything is great, but I would correct this.” And sometimes - as in the song: “I molded him from what was.” We women often get carried away by our own fantasies. I always made the same mistake - I saw in a person something that was not there, but I really wanted to see it.

Many will subscribe to these words.

And then I firmly decided to look at things without rose-colored glasses. And as soon as another illusion creeped up on me, I immediately threw it away and asked Stefano directly. And I always received a clear, specific answer. I didn’t have to think of anything, I saw what kind of person he was... Yes, we’ve known each other for less than a year... But, as it turned out, it’s not a matter of timing. And it seems to me that if everything happens like this (snaps fingers), then it’s real.

How did he propose to you?

Do you know his parents?

Certainly. We met at Marina and Christiano’s wedding. And during one family dinner, Stefano solemnly announced: “Dear mom and dad, I have news for you. Remember that beautiful girl named Sati? We have love and a very serious relationship.” Mom exclaimed: “Of course, yes, I remember her. Bella! Bellissima! But how can we communicate with her, she doesn’t know Italian!” Later, I promised her that I would learn the language for her sake. And I will do it. Just like Stefano is learning Russian for the sake of my parents. Moreover, if we are talking about marriage, then, I believe, it will also be about children, God willing. But this is the culture of my future husband! I'm going FOR the husband. I need to know the language more than he does.

Have you already informed his family about your decision?

Yes, sure. I had a few free days, and Stefano invited me to his place in Italy, in Turin. He said that he wanted to introduce me to mom and dad better and tell them the news about the wedding. They live outside the city, Stefano's house is next door to his parents'. He met me, showed me the city, and fed me a home-cooked lunch. He made me delicious gluten free pasta just the way I love it. It was topped with pesto that his mother made, as well as basil and tomatoes that she grew. I stayed there for several days, and everything was incredibly emotional. How my mother tried to set the family table in honor of my arrival! Cristiano, Marina and Stefano are vegetarians, like me, but my parents are not. The table was laden with an incredible amount of vegetarian dishes, the brothers vied with each other to tell and demonstrate the dialects of various regions of Italy, we laughed a lot. Overall, we had a great evening. And all this time Stefano was pushing me under the table: “Come on! Come on!” With his help, I learned several phrases in Italian, which sound something like this: “Dear Mom and Dad! We want to tell you important news. Stefano and I love each other and want to get married. We ask for your blessing.”

By the end of dinner, Stefano was already looking at me anxiously and questioningly, but I still couldn’t make up my mind. I felt my heart pounding and realized that I was unable to do this. She whispered in his ear: “Listen, I can’t. Please do it yourself.” And he stood up and began to speak, Marina translated his words to me. Stefano's father speaks good English. He said: “If you love each other so much that you are ready to face any difficulties, if you believe in each other, go ahead. Boldly! Here is my blessing for you, I will always support you. If you doubt it, better stop ". Stefano and I exclaimed: “We believe! We love!” He hugged us and told me: “From now on, you are my daughter. I accept you into my heart and into my family.” I burst into tears, of course.

How did your parents perceive your future son-in-law?

When they found out about the wedding, they were incredibly happy! They don’t know each other personally yet, but as soon as Stefano flies to Russia, we will go to them. Of course, they had already seen him, we all talked together on Skype. He even learned some funny phrases in Kabardian. They really liked Stefano right away. Maybe because they saw how I glowed with happiness, how calm and confident I had become. Of course, there are some formal things left ahead - a ring, a knee, petals. (Laughs.)

Where will the wedding take place?

We haven't decided yet. We are at the stage of studying this issue. We compared our work schedules and realized that we wouldn’t be able to do it before the fall.

When planning your future life, did you and Stefano come to some common decision?

For now we will live in two countries. Stefano says this: “My work does not tie me to any particular place. I can go anywhere in the world from Moscow just like from Italy. But for you it is important to be in Russia, here is your career and your life.” I don’t know Italian, I don’t know how to drive a car - without this it will be very difficult for me in Italy. We need to prepare. Therefore, for the first time we will live here in Russia. I understand what Stefano sacrifices by leaving his friends and his hobbies, but he is ready to do it.

And yet it is impossible to avoid the issue of differences in cultures and religions...

Stefano is Catholic, I am Muslim. We cannot have a church marriage. To do this, some of us would have to change our faith. We discussed this too. But we are both absolutely satisfied with everything, we respect each other’s faith, and each will remain with his own. As for national traditions, as it turned out, our cultures are very similar. Both Italians and Kabardians have a developed family culture, reverence for parents, and love for children. We are equally emotional and love to discuss everything verbosely and loudly, while gesturing wildly. Even our kitchens are similar in many ways, surprisingly. So, if Providence brought me and Stefano together, it made for me the best choice of all possible.

Sati Casanova
Today, August 14, a new issue of the weekly HELLO! appeared on the shelves of all kiosks in the country, in which Sati Casanova admitted that she was finally getting married. The chosen one of the 34-year-old singer was the Italian photographer Stefano Tiozzo, whom she had known for less than a year. But, apparently, there is absolutely no need to postpone the wedding when you find your soul mate:

I'm getting married. Although I still don’t quite believe it myself. It would seem that every woman has a “built-in program” of unconditional readiness for marriage. I'm probably somewhat unconventional in this regard. Every time I was close to the wedding, I began to have disturbing dreams, all sorts of signs appeared - as if God was taking me away from this step. Apparently, the wrong people were nearby. Now everything is so easy, joyful and somehow childish! I’m almost 35, and my condition is like that of a 15-year-old. For the first time, I’m not afraid of anything and I’m not complicating anything. Everything is simple and clear. The heart knows - this is the right person,” she admitted in an interview with HELLO! magazine.

Casanova met her chosen one at the wedding of her friend Marina Missbach and Stefano’s brother, Cristiano Tiozzo. At first he seemed arrogant to her, and she to him. But already during the next meeting the couple changed their minds about each other. The relationship developed rapidly, and Tiozzo did not hesitate to propose marriage:

- said Casanova.

Rumors about the imminent marriage of the ex-“manufacturer” circulated long and persistently: in 2014, her engagement to producer Arthur Shachnev broke down, and two years later she was persistently credited with an affair and a quick wedding with 55-year-old businessman Alexander Shenkman, but the singer denied this information.

In October Sati Casanova married an Italian landscape photographer Stefano Tiozzo. The 35-year-old singer met her boyfriend last year.

Sati's friend Marina Missbach married pianist Christiano Tiozzo. At the wedding, the artist met the groom's brother.

The meeting became fateful - the star finally decided to get married for the first time.

After the magnificent Caucasian celebration, which took place in Kabardino-Balkaria, the young people organized another celebration in Stefano’s homeland. The singer continues to share photos from the wedding on Instagram and talks about touching or romantic moments.

Recently, Sati published a small selection of photographs, accompanied by a story: “How I persuaded my dad to lead him arm in arm to the wedding arch to hand over his daughter to the groom, according to European traditions... How I spent a long time looking for a wedding dress with a tiara (usually they do it the other way around... How and why I I wanted the bridesmaids to wear red, and these wonderful dresses were found exactly a week before...”

The singer added words of gratitude to her father, friends and numerous helpers in organizing the celebration. Sati added: “My father, who had a Caucasian upbringing and Muslim traditions, had a very hard time agreeing to this step... But out of respect for the culture of the groom’s family, he agreed to it.”
