Family & Personal Life
Born on October 2, 1951, in Los Angeles, California, USA, Romina Power is the oldest of the two daughters of American actor Tyrone Power and Mexican actress Linda Christian. Her younger sister’s name is Taryn. Christian was Tyrone’s second wife and they divorced in 1956. Both Romina and Taryn were raised by their mother in various places, notably in Mexico and Italy. Exposed to such diversity of cultures, Romina became interested in Mexican Mariachi bands, American musicals, and the 1960s Italian music.
Power became acquainted with Albano Carrisi while they were both active in the Italian film industry in the 1960s. She was a rising star, while he had already established himself as an actor and singer. They exchanged wedding vows on July 26, 1970. Power gave birth to four children: Daughters Ylenia Maria Sole (born November 29, 1970), Cristèl Chiara (born December 25, 1985), and Romina Jolanda (born June 1, 1987), and son Yari (born April 21, 1973).
In January 1994, while Ylenia was briefly residing with a street musician in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, she went missing. The authorities subsequently arrested the musician in an unrelated case but he was later released as the police did not find any evidence against him linking him to Ylenia’s disappearance. According to Al Bano, their daughter’s disappearance played a catastrophic role in the dissolution of his marriage. He and Power divorced in 1999. In December 2014, Al Bano asked the US authorities to announce Ylenia presumed death. However, Power still believes that her daughter is alive.
In October 2007, after purchasing a house in Sedona, Arizona, Power came back to her native country after living in Italy for a while. Besides acting and singing, she has also developed interests in painting and writing.
