Artist Introduction
Carla Bruni’s surname comes from the prominent and wealthy Bruni-Tedeschi family in northern Italy. Born on December 23, 1967, in Turin, Italy, her grandfather was the founder of Ceat, the second-largest tire manufacturer in Italy after Pirelli; her father, Alberto Bruni Tedeschi, was a renowned classical music composer, opera director, and theater owner; her mother, Marisa Borini, was a pianist.
When Carla Bruni was 5 years old, her family moved to France for political reasons. Growing up amidst the clash of two different cultures, Carla naturally embodied both the Italian spirit of freedom and the romantic elegance of the French. Coming from a wealthy family, Carla Bruni did not have to worry about making a living and could enjoy a life of luxury at home. However, unable to bear the loneliness, she was not content to let her beautiful face and figure go to waste at home, so she decided to venture out.
