Now, the 31-year-old artist Gionata Ruggieri has located his original parents, who abandoned him on the stairs of an orphanage in Pisticci when he was a few months old, according to the TV show Le Iene. Ruggieri was subsequently adopted by a Lombard couple who reared him in Seregno, but all three died young: his father when he was five, his mother when he was ten, and his grandma a few years ago.


A hardship that paved the way for his career as a highly successful rapper on the internet, currently on his eighth album, and led him to seek his genuine familial roots. He finds the birth certificate in Pisticci, in the Matera district, thanks to the Mediaset transmission, and discovers that the infant was not abandoned, but that the court chose adoption by taking the kid away from its biological parents.


"After 30 years, I finally saw my father and mother, the people who gave birth to me and whom I had never seen or heard from again." I've seen their faces after 30 years of thinking "who knows what their faces look like?" After 30 years, I saved a number in my address book for the first time, labeling it 'dad.' It's something everyone takes for granted, but it's something I never imagined would happen to me. "After 30 years of asking questions, I finally have answers," Gionny says in an Instagram post.


Gionata found he was 100% Apulian during a trip with journalist Veronica Ruggeri. Above all, he realized he had not been abandoned. Italia 1's crew arrives in Pisticci. An snippet from her birth certificate revealed that her parents had recognized him in the Municipality. Jonathan remarks, holding the page, "I have 30 years of inquiries on one sheet." He learns that his mother, Rita, is from Salento (and had him when she was 21), while his father, Antonio, is from Taranto.


Rumors pursue each other in the little town, and some tales reach the editorial team of Le Iene. One will lead you to the home of the singer-uncle, songwriter's the mother's brother. Then here comes the first phone chat with Rita, who says she wants to meet him as soon as possible after a brief pause.


Gionny is on his way to his mother's when he runs into his father, Antonio, who can hardly hold back his sobs. They converse, make jokes, and exchange phone numbers. Then it's time for Mom. The fairy tale becomes a reality even with her. Rita also shows her kid her tattoos, one of which is her father's name. Now Gionny will go back to the studio to finish the record with "a few less tears and a few more smiles. I'm astounded that 31 years have passed in a matter of days. "I'm extremely delighted, the void I felt has now closed, therefore I'm happy," the rapper says.
