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 “Factory” group 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, the love story did not continue.
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!
For more than a year, Sati Casanova did not comment on her personal life, she only hinted: yes, she met her beloved man, with whom she feels very good. But still, at the end of August 2017, I admitted in an interview that I would soon get married. Her chosen one is far from show business; he is Italian photographer Stefano Tiozzo. Lives in Turin, but travels a lot around the world. The lovers are planning to have three weddings: for friends, for the bride’s Caucasian relatives, and to organize an Italian celebration for the groom’s relatives.
And today, October 14, the first part of the celebration was held in the Caucasus - for the bride’s relatives. Judging by the video, all the singer’s relatives came to the celebration. And this wedding sang and danced from early morning. The groom, it seems, was even a little stunned by so much attention to his person. Yes, and what a “Caucasian custom” is, I felt for myself: national dishes, wine, dancing - the holiday went on non-stop. On the other hand, one can understand family. A famous daughter is getting married, isn’t this a reason for a big celebration in Fiagdon?! The most expensive restaurant, the most luxurious gifts, the best toasts - everything for Sati.
By the way, Stefano Tiozzo chose a traditional Kabardian costume for the Caucasian part of the wedding, matching the bride, who also wore a white national outfit with golden embroidery on the hem. She complemented the image of the ex-soloist of the Factory group with a national headdress.
By the way, the Italian groom had already become friends with the bride’s family and was warmly received by relatives. Casanova's parents are confident that their daughter will be happy with Stefano.
“He’s already talked to mom and dad both in person and on Skype—they really liked him. He teaches Russian especially for them - reads, translates with a dictionary. We are waiting for his family from Italy. We’ll show them Lezginka, treat them to local cuisine, and all the action will take place in the mountains, so that they can see the beauty of the mountains of Elbrus and Ossetia,” the star told about the celebration a little earlier.
Sati and Stefano met in Germany at a friends wedding. Casanova at that time was disappointed in love and did not pay attention to the sultry Italian. The future spouses examined each other after the wedding, at a dinner party. The lovers communicate mainly in English, although Stefano is actively learning Russian.
“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. And 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 - 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 I understand what Stefano sacrifices, leaving his friends and his hobbies, but he is ready to do it,” the singer said about her plans for her future family life.
October 03, 2017The former soloist of the group "Factory" celebrated her anniversary. The singer celebrated her 35th birthday in one of the capital's restaurants with friends and family. The most important gift was presented to her by the groom, who unexpectedly appeared at the celebration and sang for the birthday girl.
Sati Casanova / photo: globallook.comOctober 2 Sati Casanova. A former member of the Factory group celebrated this event in one of the Italian restaurants in Moscow. A large number of guests gathered at the party, including such stars as Ekaterina Odintsova, Mitya Fomin, jeweler Daria Petrova and many other celebrities. The artist’s friends congratulated her not only personally, but also on social networks.
That evening Stefano Tiozzo gave an unexpected surprise for the birthday girl and her guests. He appeared at the height of the holiday with a bouquet of flowers and sang a romantic song for his chosen one. The artist was very moved by the act of her lover and even had difficulty singing along with him. They hugged each other to the applause of those present. That evening Sati was dressed in a light scarlet dress. Later she was presented with a large cake decorated with berries. However, at her holiday, Sati also could not resist and performed several musical compositions.
Let us remind you that the singer. She announced the good news quite recently. The couple organizes the wedding three times in different parts of the world. The celebration will be grandiose, as Casanova chose four designer dresses in which she will shine on her wedding day. The most thorough preparations are underway for this important event. Future spouses are already
Rumors appeared in the media that Sati Casanova is going to marry an Italian photographer Stefano Tiozzo, whom I met less than a year ago.
Almost nothing is known about Sati Casanova’s fiancé, photographer Stefano Tiozzo, except that he is a photographer who wanders around the world and takes pictures of something.
Since his name is unknown in the world of photography, we can assume that he is a so-so photographer.
According to Sati, she met Stefano in Germany at a friend’s wedding and at first she didn’t like Stefano at all - he seemed arrogant.
Stefano Tiozzo is thirty-four years old and, recalling the artist’s classic monologue from the film “For Family Reasons,” one could say that Stefano Tiozzo is no longer young and not a very successful photographer, although he and Satie are a good match in age (October 2, 1982) to a friend.
However, if you look closely at this story, much in it suggests that this is all a PR stunt.
According to the singer’s stories, their relationship developed rapidly.
Here's how Sati herself talks about it in an interview with Hello magazine:
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 at least a hundredth part, it gives me hope that you feel about the same as I do.
I speak:
Oh yeah! 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 own.
It probably makes sense for me to come to Russia first, wait until you learn Italian and adapt to your new situation.
I was surprised
To what new position?
Well, we'll be married... Ah! I don’t tell you... Will you be my wife?
I'm sorry, I didn't do everything the way I should have - the knee, the ring... If it's important to you, I'll do it right.
I answered:
No, it doesn't matter at all.
Attention, question!
In what language did they explain themselves if in her interview Sati said that she did not know Italian, and he did not know Russian?
Sati Casanova I had already met Father Stefano and received his blessing.
According to Sati’s plans, first after the painting she and Stefan plan to live in Russia, and then most likely move to Italy.
