Years later, Samantha De Grenet confirms: «Francesco Totti and I had a flirtation».
He revealed it to Monica Setta on Stories of women at the crossroads, on Rai 2: «It's a story that none of us has ever confirmed, even if at the time we ended up in all the gossip newspapers - says the 53-year-old Roman showgirl - I met Totti one evening at the Circus Maximus at a concert by Antonello Venditti. He had just finished his story with Maria Mazza, it was a magical evening: lights, candles and music."
Digging into his memories he also recovered an entirely Sardinian anecdote : «A few weeks later we found ourselves in Sardinia and one morning we went for a ride into the sea with the jet ski. I was driving and a freak wave suddenly knocked Francesco into the high seas. I remember that as soon as I realized I had lost it I was paralyzed with fear. I said to myself: and now, if I have broken the Champion, who will make me return to Rome?". Fortunately, everything ended well.
« They were beautiful moments but the story never transformed into true love. It could have happened, of course - he adds - Totti is a good boy and never got angry, he was normal even then. But I was too good friends with his ex Maria Mazza and I didn't want to end up crushed by the stereotypical showgirl (me) with the famous footballer. I had already had one and it was enough for me. Instead, I had a great love story with Alessandro Benetton - he continues - It was a very serious thing, long before Deborah Compagnoni, we were two boys and it was a wonderful love. Even today I love him deeply." Another new flirt between Samantha and Nek. «I wouldn't call it flirting - she admits - Nek was and is beautiful, but he didn't get along well with me. We met when we were young and he remains one of my favorite singers even now."
