00:18io voglio ringraziare valentino per avermi insegnato quello di cui oggi abbiamo parlato
00:27molto in questa messa la bellezza attraverso lui ho scoperto cosa voleva dire ed era una bellezza
00:38che ci ha seguito tutta la nostra vita che ci ha accompagnato noi abbiamo noi siamo conosciuti
00:45che eravamo dei ragazzini abbiamo sognato le stesse cose siamo riusciti a realizzarne alcune
00:55direi anche realizzarne molte il nostro cammino continuerĂ per sempre valentino
01:02valentino you were the person i spoke to not the person i spoke about you were beside me when words
01:17were not needed life was not always perfect but it was real one day at a time for more
01:24than 40 years all strung together became extraordinary because we were living them
01:30together
01:37so
01:44Oh
02:14Headquarters near the Spanish Steps in Rome where we saw again a steady stream of people
02:40including his current companion who brought the couple's dogs and little plugs and I'm seeing the car being brought out of the church that will pass behind me in a couple of minutes but I will just stop for a second here and put into the hearse and it will drive here shortly behind me.
03:00Now after this, the loss of Valentino, of course, the fashion brand will go on. He hasn't been an integral part of the design of the brand for quite some time now.
03:11We did see so many of these images here in Rome at one of the basilicas, or one of the...
03:17Okay, and then I don't sign out on this one either, right?
03:41Get ready.
03:43Okay.
03:48Okay.
03:50Okay.
03:52Thanks.
03:55This really marks the end of a momentous word, Donatello Versace.
03:59These are the people who came to pay their respects, in addition to a number of Romans who have worn their version of the Valentino Red to pay their last respects to such a wonderful man who is so important to Italian design.
04:12A memory of Valentino.
04:14Diciamo che è stato il padre fondatore, sicuramente insieme al signor Giorgio Armani, a Versace, dell'amore italiana.
04:23Un uomo garbatissimo, educatissimo, gentilissimo, un grande artista del XX secolo. Grazie.
04:29Volevo proprio esserci perché adoro Valentino e penso sia davvero l'ultimo imperatore della moda, della creatività in Italia, vabbè, conosciuto in tutto il mondo, quindi...
04:42It's lovely styles, great designer, well loved by everybody, yeah?
04:51And we've been a follower of this fashion for many years, myself and my daughters.
04:56Even when I spoke to my daughter yesterday, when I phoned her back in the UK, she said, I've actually got my Valentino sliders on.
05:04So that was really nice, so, yeah, it's been lovely.
05:07We've been, we're overwhelmed and we're so, you know, we're here on this occasion, so, yeah, it's, and may you rest in peace.
05:37Thank you very much.
06:07Thank you very much.
