Farewell to Perla Mazzolini: A Beacon of Strength in Padua’s Nightlife
Padua, Italy — The vibrant nightlife of Padua mourns the loss of Perla Mazzolini, a beloved figure and ex-wife of former professional footballer Nanu Galderisi. Mazzolini, who was 59, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer, leaving behind her son Andrea and a legacy of resilience and passion.
Mazzolini was well-known in the jet-set circles of Padua, having run the popular bar “Kolar” in the city’s Ghetto district. Her glamorous lifestyle and magnetic personality made her a central figure in the nightlife scene. Despite her public persona, she faced personal challenges, most notably her lengthy and painful separation from Galderisi, who played for clubs like Juventus and Verona.
Their divorce, finalized in 2014, became public through an emotional Facebook post in which Mazzolini expressed her relief at escaping what she described as a “prison of a cheating husband” and a life marked by domestic violence. This candid declaration resonated with many, inspiring women in similar situations to find their voices. In subsequent posts, she clarified her intent to raise awareness about psychological violence, advocating for the importance of resilience and self-empowerment.
Mazzolini’s struggle with cancer began with a total hysterectomy a year ago, as reported by Corriere del Veneto. Although she initially seemed to be on the path to recovery, the disease returned, ultimately leading to her untimely passing. Her battle was closely followed by friends and admirers, who watched with admiration as she faced her illness with unwavering strength.
After her separation from Galderisi, Mazzolini moved to Cremona but maintained a strong connection to Padua, where she cultivated a vast network of friendships. She was not only a fixture in nightlife but also an active member of the motorcycling community, which bid her farewell with the heartfelt message: “Have a good trip biker.”
Her son, Andrea, has followed in her creative footsteps, embarking on a career as a singer and musician, ensuring that her artistic spirit continues to thrive. Mazzolini was also known for her blog, “Pearls of Wisdom,” which garnered appreciation for its relatable and empowering content.
Perla Mazzolini’s funeral is set for Friday, October 4, providing an opportunity for family, friends, and admirers to pay tribute to a woman who embodied strength and tenacity. Her passing leaves an indelible mark on those who knew her, as they remember her not only for her glamorous lifestyle but also for her fierce advocacy for women’s rights and mental health.
In a life marked by both love and heartache, Mazzolini will be remembered as a true icon of Padua’s nightlife—a woman who knew how to live with passion and determination.
