Massimiliano Ossini’s story about his childhood

Before taking to the track, Ossini spoke about some difficult moments he experienced during his childhood. The presenter suffered from a stutter and this made him suffer on several occasions: “I wasn’t one of those always smiling and happy kids because I had a serious problem. Until the age of 12 I had a stutter. I remember like it was yesterday: I was talking, going to class and… It took me a long time before I said something.

Ossini also revealed that he was being targeted because of his voice, so much so that he had found his own way to vent:

I had a very high, high pitched voice. Every time I answered the phone they said ‘Francesca?’ (my sister) or ‘Tina?’ (my mom). I was ashamed and attacked. I had ended up in a vortex where I was truly ashamed of everything. I had found a solution within myself, in the evening I would sit in the bedroom, pillow on my face and scream, at least my voice was hoarse
