More than a year Sati Casanova did not comment on her personal life in any way, 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 most best toast- 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. Lovers communicate mainly on English language, 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,” she said about her plans for the future family life singer.
Sati Casanova and Stefano Tiozzo officially became husband and wife. The singer immediately warned fans that she did not want to advertise such a significant event, and therefore would make the ceremony secret. However, several videos from the holiday that took place recently in the Caucasus were leaked to Instagram.
The artist greatly respects the traditions of her people, so she decided to organize a celebration on small homeland. She appeared at the celebration in a snow-white wedding dress with golden embroidery on the hem. Happy bride complemented the look with a national headdress.
The groom also tried on a traditional Kabardian costume. Sati has repeatedly emphasized that Stefano respects national customs chosen one, therefore I am ready to observe them as during wedding ceremony, and in everyday life.
The singer herself prefers not to comment on the changes that have occurred in her personal life. However, the other day the artist posted joint photo with her husband and his relatives.
"That's mine new family. Finding a new brother and sister is a very great happiness,” the singer emphasized.
Fans congratulated Sati on such a important event and hastened to wish her well-being. “Be happy and have kids as soon as possible,” “She’s literally glowing from within, she’s so in love. It’s very joyful to see your favorite singer like this”, “Very a beautiful couple, I wish you unlimited prosperity and mutual understanding,” wrote the artist’s fans.
By the way, Casanova’s followers on Instagram are sure that the matter will not be limited to one holiday. Most likely, the happy newlyweds will definitely have a second celebration, but this time in the groom’s homeland.
The wedding ceremony in the Caucasus was attended mainly by friends and numerous relatives of the lovers. Sati specially selected identical burgundy outfits with national flavor for the bridesmaids. The entire holiday was held in traditional Kabardian style.
Despite the shift marital status, Casanova is not going to suspend concert activities. The artist will have several more performances before the end of the year. However, fans are sure that Sati will have time not only for work, but also for a honeymoon.
In an interview with HELLO! singer Sati Casanova spoke for the first time about the fact that she was going to get married. The singer's chosen one was the Italian photographer Stefano Tiozzo. Introducing the love story of a couple.
The news that Sati Casanova was getting married has been heard more than once - however, always at the level of rumors. But now everything is serious. A man appeared nearby with whom Sati really intends to connect her life, and now she will be connected with Italy - the country of the sea and the sun. But where can you get them in rainy Moscow to recreate this atmosphere in a photo shoot? We decided to give it a try and it looks like we succeeded. After all, the main thing is the mood. And now Sati’s feeling is extremely elevated.
A few days after the interview, she was waiting for a meeting with her beloved man, with whom she would very soon get married. The history of their relationship is full of mystical signs and symbols, to which the singer attaches great importance.
Sati, are you on the verge of important changes in your life?
Yes it's true. And I decided to tell about it myself - so that the news would come out firsthand, because last years my personal life has become overgrown with too many rumors and gossip. I'm getting married. Although I still don’t quite believe it myself. It would seem that every woman has a “built-in program” of unconditional readiness for marriage. I'm probably somewhat unconventional in this regard. Every time I was close to the wedding, I began to have disturbing dreams, all sorts of signs appeared - 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.
Who is he?
His name is Stefano - with an emphasis on the letter E. He is a photographer, Italian. As one of my friends admitted, she was always sure that I would marry a foreigner. But I couldn’t even imagine this. I believed that such marriages were doomed - due to different mentalities, outlooks on life, and language barriers. Of course, I don’t know how everything will turn out for us, and I don’t want to guess, but at the moment there is absolutely nothing stopping us.
How did you find each other?
We met less than a year back. It happened in Germany, at the wedding of my friend Marina Missbach and Stefano’s brother, Cristiano Tiozzo, a famous pianist. The ceremony was held in the Indian-Vedic style, with appropriate rituals and ceremonies. But, despite the amazing beauty and fabulous atmosphere around, I was in a skeptical mood. By that time, I was disappointed in the relationship, sat and thought: “Why all this performance?! People still don’t know how to truly love and understand each other.”
The first person I saw after the bride and groom was Stefano, who was sitting next to them and taking photographs. I remember the sudden interest that arose in me - who is this guy? Although I usually don't pay attention to strangers. Many of Marina and Christiano's friends performed, and I also sang several songs. And I noticed how Stefano looked at me - a gaze of study and admiration. He knew nothing about me, except that I was a singer from Russia, Marina’s friend. He said, "You have a beautiful voice." I nodded in response: “Thank you.” Then he admitted: “You then looked at me with such a condescending mockery - they say, me too, original compliment"According to him, I seemed to him an arrogant conceit. And he made a similar impression on me. As it turned out later, Stefano was in the same skeptical mood as I was in relation to women and marriage. He also managed to get burned. Apparently , that’s why he and I didn’t see each other that evening.
When did you see it?
This was preceded by certain signs. There was a time when Swami, a spiritual master and Brahmin, conducted wedding ceremonies, distributed gifts to everyone from the bride and groom. People stood in line, came up, bowed to him and received a gift. Stefano and I found ourselves in this line next to each other. And while we stood together for about five minutes, three people passing by whispered to me: “Listen, you look great with him! Pay attention to him.” After receiving my gift, I sat next to Swami, on the left side. Stefano sat on the right. And suddenly Swami, smiling slyly, pointed to it and raised it up to me. thumb. And then he drew a heart in the air. Then I thought that everyone around me had definitely gone crazy. And she laughed. This is where our communication with Stefano ended.
We met a few months later - at a holiday where Marina invited me. That’s when Stefano and I started talking and became sincerely interested in each other. We walked a lot, chatted, and mutual sympathy has already become obvious. I was impressed by his humor, his way of thinking.
What language did you speak?
In English, as now. Although I plan to learn Italian, he has started learning Russian and is already speaking very well. He says: “I have a serious incentive: I want to learn the language before the wedding so that I can communicate with your parents.” He does it for them! He speaks with such a touching Italian accent, it's so funny and cute. In my opinion, he accomplishes a small feat - every free minute he sits down and learns Russian.
At what point did you start to feel like a couple?
During the second meeting, I discovered how extraordinary he sees the world. I started to take a closer look and realized that he was also infinitely interested in how I think, how I live. Thus a mutual attraction arose. We exchanged phone numbers. Soon Stefano was going on a work trip to India, to the Holi festival in the city of Vrindavan - I was there twice, and it made an indelible impression on me. Stefano is a landscape photographer who shoots landscapes and has traveled to almost all the most beautiful places in the world. He is amazingly talented and has thousands of fans who adore his work and follow him around the world on expedition trips.
Having learned about his trip to India, whose culture I adore, I immediately made him promise to send me his best photographs from there. Stefano sent pictures every day. Some shots brought tears of admiration to my eyes. I was shocked! Probably at that moment I was surprised to discover that I fell in love. The Italian? Photographer? For so much short term? This is unreal! Returning to Italy, Stefano suggested we talk on Skype. 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 even a hundredth part, that gives me hope that you feel about the same as I do.” I say: “Oh yes! 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. A week later it seemed to us that we had known each other for a hundred years. Our conversations took 3-5 hours every day, we simply could not stop.
Sati Casanova in a photo shoot HELLO!
How did this virtual communication develop into real communication?
In April I had a concert in Geneva. Now I travel a lot around Europe to various ethnic festivals with my project Sati Ethnica. It is much more interesting than my pop projects, but is not as commercially successful yet. Stefano, a little embarrassed, asked: “How would you like it if I came to you in Geneva?” I agreed. And again we felt completely natural next to each other, everything was transparent and understandable. Then the relationship began in earnest. A few weeks later we spent four magical day in Riga, wandered around the city, talked a lot. For the first time I felt that there was a person nearby who did not want to change me one bit. And I perceive him as he is. All previous relationships, unfortunately, were based on the fact that “everything is great, but I would correct this.” And sometimes - as in the song: “I molded him from what was.” We women often get carried away by our own fantasies. I always made the same mistake - I saw in a person something that was not there, but I really wanted to see it.
Many will subscribe to these words.
And then I firmly decided to look at things without rose-colored glasses. And as soon as another illusion creeped up on me, I immediately threw it away and asked Stefano directly. And I always received a clear, specific answer. I didn’t have to think of anything, I saw what kind of person he was... Yes, we’ve known each other for less than a year... But, as it turned out, it’s not a matter of timing. And it seems to me that if everything happens like this (snaps fingers), then it’s real.
How did he propose to you?
Do you know his parents?
Certainly. We met at Marina and Christiano’s wedding. And during one family dinner, Stefano solemnly announced: “Dear mom and dad, I have news for you. Remember that beautiful girl named Sati? We have love and a very serious relationship." Mom exclaimed: "Of course, yes, I remember her. Bella! Bellissima! But how are we going to communicate with her, she doesn’t know Italian!” Later, I promised her that I would learn the language for her sake. And I will do it. Just like Stefano learns Russian for the sake of my parents. Especially if we are talking about marriage, then, I suppose, it will also be about children, God willing. But this is the culture of my future husband!
Have you already informed his family about your decision?
Yes, sure. I got a few free days, and Stefano invited me to his place in Italy, in Turin. He said that he wanted to introduce him to mom and dad better and tell them the news about the wedding. They live outside the city, Stefano's house is next door to his parents'. He met me, showed me the city, and fed me a home-cooked lunch. He made me delicious gluten free pasta just the way I love it. It was topped with pesto that his mother made, as well as basil and tomatoes that she grew. I stayed there for several days, and everything was incredibly emotional. How my mother tried to set the family table in honor of my arrival! Cristiano, Marina and Stefano are vegetarians, like me, but my parents are not. The table was laden with an incredible amount of vegetarian dishes, the brothers vied with each other to tell and demonstrate the dialects of various regions of Italy, we laughed a lot. Overall, we had a great evening. And all this time Stefano was pushing me under the table: “Come on! Come on!” With his help, I learned several phrases in Italian, which sound something like this: “Dear Mom and Dad! We want to tell you important news. Stefano and I love each other and want to get married. We ask for your blessing.”
By the end of dinner, Stefano was already looking at me anxiously and questioningly, but I still couldn’t make up my mind. I felt my heart pounding and realized that I was unable to do this. She whispered in his ear: “Listen, I can’t. Please do it yourself.” And he stood up and began to speak, Marina translated his words to me. Stefano's father speaks good English. He said: “If you love each other so much that you are ready to face any difficulties, if you believe in each other, go ahead. Boldly! Here is my blessing for you, I will always support you. If you doubt it, better stop ". Stefano and I exclaimed: “We believe! We love!” He hugged us and told me: “From now on, you are my daughter. I accept you into my heart and into my family.” I burst into tears, of course.
How did your parents perceive your future son-in-law?
When they found out about the wedding, they were incredibly happy! They don’t know each other personally yet, but as soon as Stefano flies to Russia, we will go to them. Of course, they had already seen him, we all talked together on Skype. He even learned some funny phrases in Kabardian. They really liked Stefano right away. Maybe because they saw how I glowed with happiness, how calm and confident I had become. Of course, there are some formal things left ahead - a ring, a knee, petals. (Laughs.)
Where will the wedding take place?
We haven't decided yet. We are at the stage of studying this issue. We compared our work schedules and realized that earlier than autumn do not have time.
When planning your future life, did you and Stefano come to some common decision?
For now we will live in two countries. Stefano says this: “My work does not tie me to any specific place. I can go anywhere in the world from Moscow just like from Italy. But 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 a car - 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 understand what Stefano sacrifices by leaving his friends and his hobbies, but he is ready to do it.
And yet it is impossible to ignore the issue of differences in cultures and religions...
Stefano is Catholic, I am Muslim. We can't have church marriage. To do this, some of us would have to change our faith. We discussed this too. But we are both absolutely satisfied with everything, we respect each other’s faith, and each will remain with his own. Concerning national traditions— as it turned out, our cultures are very similar. Both Italians and Kabardians have a developed family culture, reverence for parents, and love for children. We are equally emotional and love to discuss everything verbosely and loudly, while gesturing wildly. Even our kitchens are similar in many ways, surprisingly. So, if Providence brought me and Stefano together, it did for me the best choice of all possible.

The wedding of Sati Casanova and her Italian partner Stefano Tiozzo, or rather the official wedding registration, took place on October 4, 2017. A more magnificent celebration of the painting of the newlyweds, according to the singer herself, should take place in 3 stages.
Sati Casanova: biography
The young singer was born on October 2, 1982 in Kabardino-Balkaria into a large Muslim family. In addition to Sati, her parents had 3 more daughters. The future singer spent her entire childhood in her native village, where she studied. First at school, which she graduated with success, and then at the cultural school.
Sati's father always adhered to fairly strict moral rules, and when the young girl began performing in one of the restaurants in Nalchik, such behavior caused strong indignation in the family. After working as a singer for some time, the young girl set off to conquer Moscow.
Sati's finest hour
Arriving in the capital, young Casanova immediately submitted documents for pop-jazz vocals to the Academy of Music. The girl's training took place in absentia. That's why free time she devoted herself to working part-time in the music show “Voyage of Dreams.”
In 2001, the “Star Factory” project was launched, which helped Casanova to realize herself and gain popularity among millions of television viewers watching the lives of young musicians present on the TV show. Sati Casanova successfully passed the casting and became one of the participants in the project, which served as a springboard for the famous star in Russian show business.
The young singer proved herself at the “Star Factory”, demonstrating her talent and external beauty, and a year later the producer of the project, Igor Matvienko, took the young beauty into the “Factory” group, in which the girl performed for 8 years. But in 2010, Casanova announced her departure from the team. Since that time, the girl began to pursue a solo career.
Personal life
Until recently, the 35-year-old singer denied rumors about her upcoming wedding with an Italian. Sati Casanova explained her action by saying that she prefers to keep her personal life secret from outsiders, not giving journalists unnecessary topics to discuss.
However, in early August of this year, the popular singer, accompanied by a charming and slender brunette, was noticed at the entrance to the Wedding Palace at No. 4, which, by the way, is the only institution in the capital where citizens can register relationships with foreigners. The ex-soloist of the Factory group filled out documents indicating the imminent registration of marriage. From that moment on, information appeared in the media about the upcoming wedding of Sati Casanova , supported by facts.
According to the ex-soloist of the Factory group, she never thought that she would marry a foreigner. Because she assumed that such marriages were doomed - due to different mentalities, outlooks on life and the language barrier.
Love story of Sati and Stefano
As it turned out, the singer is really planning a wedding. Her future husband- a famous photographer in Italy whose name is Stefano Tiozzo. As a rule, he specializes in photographing natural landscapes. However, not so long ago he boasted of a photograph of Sati against the backdrop of a blooming lavender floor. The girl, for her part, gave her beloved a return gift by filming her husband in a video clip called “Thank you.”
The young people met about a year ago. Their meeting took place at the wedding of Marina’s friend and Stefano’s brother, Cristiano. As Sati shared, just at that time she was disappointed in her relationship with a man, but, despite this, the young man was able to interest the girl.
When Sati met the Italian she liked for the second time, she discovered how unusually he looked at the world. After a while, the young people began to communicate using social networks, gradually getting to know each other different sides. After numerous dates in real life, Stefano Tiozzo confessed his love to the famous artist and proposed marriage.
About a week ago, the famous singer celebrated her anniversary. On his chosen one’s 35th birthday, an Italian photographer flew to the Russian capital to congratulate the bride and sing her favorite song in Russian.
Wedding of Sati Casanova and Stefano Tiozzo
According to the young bride, upcoming wedding must take place in three stages. After the painting in the capital's registry office, Sati Casanova's wedding (the girl's photo is presented in the article) should take place in Italy - the homeland of her husband, where the most magnificent celebration will take place. After which the newlyweds plan to go to Kabardino-Balkaria, where the girl also wants to arrange a festive wedding ceremony to the delight of her family and friends. Sati Casanova and her groom chose rings for the wedding from the famous jeweler Daria Petrova, preferring jewelry with a family monogram inside.
At the festive ceremony, which will take place in the bride’s homeland, the young performer wants to wear outfits made in the national Circassian style. With such a request, the former soloist of “Factory” turned to a well-known designer in the Caucasus, Madina Saralp.
After the wedding, Sati Casanova and her husband plan to go to Honeymoon. The couple chose classic version- The Maldives, where young people expect to go and relax for a couple of weeks.
Meeting Artur Shachnev
Before her wedding with an Italian photographer, the famous singer had serious relationship with businessman Arthur Shachnev, which should have ended in a wedding. The young people met on September 12, 2013, when the singer gave a concert at the White Clouds club, where Shachnev spent his free time in the company of his friends.
Sati made an indelible impression on Arthur during her speech, after which the young businessman hastened to make himself known. At that time, the young man was interested in martial arts and had a solid business. He was known for such projects as “Peter Pan”, “Notre Dame de Paris”. And also because he created Russia’s first commercial symphony orchestra and opened the “From Dusk Till Dawn” club.
Wedding of Sati Casanova and Arthur Shachnev
The girl began dating Arthur and gradually began to understand that this was exactly the man with whom she had dreamed of living her whole life. Six months later, the couple announced to their loved ones that their wedding would take place in May 2014. Sati Casanova dreamed of a secluded registration that would take place somewhere on the island. After which the famous artist wanted to continue the holiday in her homeland in the company of close and dear people in accordance with all traditions and accepted customs.
However, on the eve of the upcoming event, the popular singer broke off her engagement with the businessman and announced a break in relations. The star did not provide a specific reason for the separation. The only thing is that she pointed out that Arthur is a wonderful person, but, alas, they will not make an ideal married couple, since they are not created for each other.
