Among the Italians, the family is sacred! The Bruni-Tedeschi clan proved it. The last Easter weekend wasn’t just a chocolate egg hunt in the garden. In Le Lavandou, a town located in the Var, the 12th edition of the Virginio Bruni-Tedeschi Trophy took place. This catamaran race is dear to the heart of the family for the simple and good reason that it is a tribute to Virginio, the older brother of Carla Bruni who died in 2006 after contracting the AIDS virus. After two years of cancellation due to Covid-19, the event has resumed. Marisa Bruni-Tedeschi, president of the regatta, was obviously present but she was able to count on the support of her daughter Carla Bruni and her husband Nicolas Sarkozy to experience these beautiful moments by her side.
As explained nice morning this Thursday, April 21, Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy were in Cap-Nègre, a neighboring family residence. The couple was therefore not asked to stand alongside Marisa. “They were there out of simple friendship, in the pure tradition of this regatta” declared Eric Roi, organizer. But the former president was not content to be a simple spectator since he spoke in front of the public, a symbolic gesture of the love he has for the artist. . “A speech full of sensitivity, well felt and very touching on the place of the familysaid the mayor of the city Gil Bernardi. He was very available, relaxed and delicate with all the staff. It is really a beautiful tribute that he paid to his wife, to his mother-in-law, through a passage on the cult of missing persons and of their soul which survives thanks to fidelity.“
