In an interview with ilfoglio.it, Renato talked about his life and his parents. When asked during the interview, Do you feel more Italian or more Swedish?. Renato Roberto Giusto Giuseppe Rossellini answered –

“I’ll answer you with an anecdote, if you like, a Freudian one. As a child, like all children, I played with toy cars. With two in particular, one blue, the other orange. In the races between the two cars, which I drove, I always let the blue one win, for no precise reason. Then I realized that I associated the two colors with my parents: blue was my mother, orange my father. The North and the South.

Renato Roberto Giusto Giuseppe Rossellini went on to say-

Basically, I’ve always sided with the North, perhaps because I saw my father struggling, struggling to get something, while my mother always turned out to be a winner without making any effort. She was a magnet, she received gifts that she didn’t even ask for. 

I’m not sure what I am (laughs) and I don’t even want to know… I was a Roman teenager and I became an old Swede! In France and Sweden they consider me Italian, when I come to Italy I feel like a foreigner. I

don’t speak Swedish, yet when I’m in Sweden I feel at home. I am European, well, happily European”.
