Before Céline Dion was a superstar around the world,

the Italian Community in Montreal, Quebec, Canada embraced and supported her in many ways.

 

She never lost her Italian fans and friends, one of whom, a well known Montreal Designer, created Céline's majestic wedding dress when she married her manager, René Angelil.

 

Bravo Céline, and WOW to you!

I Can say for sure that in Italy people loves Celine more than Mariah,Whitney etc etc ,that's why she keeps on selling well here in italy also with no radio single no videoclip no tv show and so on.Her name is all that matters

Hope all Italians love her too

Hello,

 

Thanks for the photo. It is great to see some rare photos of when Celine was much younger.

 

Thanks again,

I think the most interesting thing of this info is Celine has Italian fans from the very beginning, and her wedding dress was designed by Italian live in Montreal.

Yeah, all I need to know - is it Celine? No need for advertisements...she's built a solid reputation so much so that I can trust that I'll enjoy what she sings, and the albums she produces.

 

The Italians not only know good fashion/clothes, they know all about good singing - good western opera singers have to learn Italian, because there're so many excellent and classic works, all in Italian.

 

So if you just trust their taste, you won't be disappointed if you tune in to Celine!

Great points there, MontYeo. And, I noticed that Celine always looks good whenever she makes appearances in Italy. Just take a look at those Italian shows she's been on. Hmm, me wonders if she goes the extra mile to make her presentation better there.
