In 1968, Carla Bruni Tedeschi was born in Torino Italy into a wealthy family that, during the 1920s, had founded the Italian tire manufacturer (CEAT) which was later sold to Pirelli. Her father Albert was a composer of classic music and opera and her mother Marisa (Borini) was an actress and concert pianist.
In 1973, the family moved from Torino to Paris reportedly to avoid threats from the Italian terrorist group Red Brigades. Carla studied piano and guitar from an early age while attending secondary school in Paris and Switzerland. She left school in 1987 at the age of 19 to join City Models in Paris. Shortly before her father’s death in 1996, she learned from her mother that her biological father, Maurizio Remmert, was an Italian classical guitarist from a wealthy family who had performed in concerts with her mother in Torino during a 6-year affair. Maurizio was 19 and Marisa was 32 at the time. Remmert moved to Brazil in 1976 and became a grocery magnate. Carla revealed this information publicly in 2008 in an interview with Vanity Fair. In 2001, Bruni had a child Aurélien by French philosophy professor Raphael Enthoven while he was married to novelist Justine Lévy.
Carla Bruni’s recording career began in 2003 after her debut album Quelqu’un m’a Dit (Someone Told Me) sold 2 million copies and lasted 34 weeks in the French top-10 album chart. It was followed by albums in 2007, 2008 and 2014. In 2002, she also contributed lyrics for 6 songs that appeared on an album released by Julien Clerc (“Si j’étais elle”). Carla had worked previously from 1987-97 as a top fashion model and attracted widespread attention by her romantic attachments with a succession of public figures like Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton and Kevin Costner, among others. In 2008, she married Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France.
