A Journey Back Home: Victoria De Angelis Rediscovers Her Past in Rom
Måneskin’s magnetic bassist, Victoria De Angelis, is best known for commanding stages from Los Angeles to Tokyo with thunderous basslines and bold style. Yet away from the flashing cameras and screaming fans, she remains a young woman who once spent her childhood in a quiet Roman neighborhood with her father, her sister, and a mother whose life was tragically cut short. This week, in a deeply personal moment, Victoria quietly returned to that neighborhood and the apartment where she and her sister grew up. It wasn’t a publicity stunt or a social media campaign. It was a private pilgrimage — a chance to reconnect with the space that shaped her earliest memories and the woman who first nurtured her creativity.
Friends close to the artist say that Victoria had been thinking about this visit for months. Between tours, interviews, and fashion collaborations, her life has become a whirlwind. But with Måneskin taking a pause from their relentless touring schedule, she finally had the time to revisit the home where it all began. According to eyewitnesses, she arrived without any entourage, dressed simply, and carried a small bag. Her sister joined her for part of the day.
Inside the apartment, little had changed. The walls still bore faint marks of childhood drawings. The narrow balcony overlooked the same courtyard where she once practiced guitar with neighborhood friends. And in a corner closet sat a wooden box belonging to her late mother, Jeanett Christiansen, a Danish woman whose warmth and artistic sensibility left a lasting imprint on Victoria’s life.
Opening the box was a moment she had been both anticipating and dreading. Over the years, she had sifted through some of her mother’s belongings, but this box had remained untouched. It contained old family photos, postcards from Denmark, ticket stubs from concerts her mother once attended, and letters written in a mix of Danish and Italian. At the bottom of the box, hidden beneath a folded scarf, lay a sealed envelope.
On the envelope, in her mother’s handwriting, were the words “Per le mie figlie” — “For my daughters.” Victoria’s hands reportedly trembled as she opened it. Inside was a short handwritten note. Although she has not revealed the full text publicly, people close to her say it contained words of encouragement, a mother’s hopes for her daughters, and a reminder to stay true to themselves even when life feels overwhelming.
Reading that note in the same room where she once played as a child was, according to Victoria, “like having a conversation across time.” In a brief post on her private Instagram story, she shared only a photo of the envelope, captioned with a heart and the words “Grazie mamma.” Fans immediately picked up on the meaning, flooding her DMs with messages of support.
This visit also illuminated something about Victoria’s character that has always been apparent to those who follow Måneskin closely. Behind the fearless fashion, the energetic stage presence, and the global fame is someone deeply connected to her family roots. Her basslines may shake stadiums, but her identity is anchored in the quiet lessons learned at home.
For her sister, the moment was equally powerful. Together, the two young women revisited old photo albums, laughed at childhood drawings, and even found a dusty acoustic guitar that Victoria had once used to practice early riffs. Neighbors who recognized them from old times offered shy greetings. One elderly woman, who had lived across the hall for decades, told local media that “Victoria was always polite, always with music in her hands.”
Although Victoria did not stage any formal announcement about the visit, the story has quickly spread among fans and Italian entertainment outlets. It resonates because it shows a different side of the rock star — a side that is vulnerable, reflective, and grateful.
As Måneskin continue to enjoy international success, moments like this remind audiences that fame does not erase the pull of home, nor the enduring bond between a daughter and her mother. For Victoria De Angelis, opening that box in her childhood home was not just an act of remembrance but also a quiet recommitment to the values her mother instilled: authenticity, creativity, and courage.
In the end, she left the apartment with the note carefully tucked into her bag. She and her sister reportedly walked through their old neighborhood, pointing out familiar landmarks and sharing stories. There were no paparazzi shots, no official statements — just two sisters retracing the paths of their youth and carrying their mother’s message into the future.
For fans, this story is a poignant reminder that behind every global star is a personal history filled with love, loss, and the search for meaning. For Victoria, it was a homecoming — and perhaps, a new chapter in the way she understands her own journey.
