Only during the last year, and more specifically, since January, the well-known presenter Zhanna Agalakova, in addition to living in America, also works there. She is a special correspondent for Channel One in New York. But oddly enough, for all viewers who regularly watch the news on Pervy, Jeanne is associated with the city of love - Paris.

Childhood

Zhanna Agalakova was born in 1965. Her biography begins in Kirov. She grew up in a simple family: her mother is a teacher of the Russian language, her father is an ordinary engineer. Whatever a girl dreamed of becoming as a child! There were thoughts about following in the footsteps of her mother, she also thought about the profession of an architect, composer and even an investigator. When Agalakova was 14 years old, she left her city. This was due to the parents' business trip to Mongolia, which lasted 4 years.

First trip to Paris

The first time Jeanne was in the French capital seventeen years ago. She traveled to Paris as a simple tourist on an old sightseeing bus. But this did not bother her at all, because she was going to her beloved - Giorgio Savona.

Since being a TV presenterI met an Italian, it was always problematic for a couple to meet. By the way, this happened quite by accident in 1991 in Suzdal, during the International Conference on the fight against organized crime. Zhanna graduated from the Faculty of Journalism at the University of Moscow State University, began working in a television studio under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and therefore covered this important event. Savona was a student of the Physics Department at the Rome Institute, he visited Russia out of curiosity - in support of his father, a well-known Italian criminologist, who was invited to the seminar. In their free time, the organizers of the forum decided to give the participants a gift and arranged a tour of the city. It so happened that the young girl and Giorgio were lucky enough to sit next to each other in the car. It was love at first sight.

Not an easy relationship

Initially, things didn't work out the way the couple wanted. At the end of the conference, the young man went to his homeland with his father. Nevertheless, his thoughts and heart remained in Russia. It is not at all surprising that after arriving home, Giorgio immediately dialed Jeanne. The conversation took place in English. Telephone conversations with a lover were not cheap, but this did not bother him, he was so interested in the girl that in any free time he tried to earn money and call Russia.

It was much more problematic to see each other again. For Agalakova, a trip to Italy was almost an unrealistic fact. And then Savona took the initiative into his own hands: he accumulated the necessaryamount and flew to Moscow. For Jeanne it was the best gift for the New Year. From Rome, the young man brought a huge amount of different gifts and products, since at that time the collapse of the Soviet Union took place, and almost all shops were closed.

Despite the fact that in Moscow the couple promised each other never to part again, their relationship for several years was limited to telephone conversations. Of course, they saw each other, but these meetings were so short, a maximum of three weeks, that the lovers did not have time to enjoy each other's company. All this continued until Giorgio took a chance and came to work in Moscow, at the University of Steel and Alloys.

Happy Life

Thousands of kilometers really did not affect the feelings of the TV presenter and Giorgio. In the early spring of 2001, the couple sealed their relationship officially. Before that, for 10 years, the lovers lived happily in a civil marriage. Soon they became the parents of a wonderful daughter, Alice, but they still lived in different countries: Zhanna Agalakova with a child in Moscow, and Giorgio in Rome. At that time, Zhanna was the host of the Vremya program on Channel One. A desirable position that everyone would probably hold on to - but not this purposeful person. Somehow, the TV presenter came to her director's office and surprised him with a statement that she really wants to go to Paris and become an independent correspondent for Channel One there. At the time, this position was open. Of course,Zhanna's management was dumbfounded by such an act: to be a famous TV presenter and then become a correspondent …

There were many reasons for the presenter to decide on such an act. Firstly, she was no longer interested in reading the news, secondly, her husband worked at the University of Paris, and thirdly, her daughter loved her father very much and missed him. In 2005, Zhanna went to conquer France.

Life in Paris

Zhanna Agalakova fell in love with Paris when she was there for the first time. Therefore, moving here was for her one of the most pleasant moments in her life. The happy family settled in a huge apartment, which was located in one of the prestigious districts of the city - a short walk from the magnificent Champs Elysees. Jeanne was engaged in her activities at home. Initially, she was even glad that she could come to work in slippers: she had only to go into her office, which was also the correspondent point. But after some time, the presenter realized that she did not leave work, but was there all the time. Literally a few months later, Zhanna Agalakova knew the city perfectly, every day she discovered something new, interesting and unknown. She has now become so familiar with Paris that she has written a book about it.

Book by Zhanna Agalakova

In 2011, the Russian TV presenter becomes the author of the book "Everything I know about Paris." Zhanna Agalakova, whose photo was placed on the cover of the book, dedicated it to her beloved husband, who openedthis beautiful city to her, to her daughter, who will know it better than she herself, and to her brother Mikhail, who managed to never visit there until now. The book tells everything about the city, about its sights, as well as about what happened to Jeanne. Now readers have the opportunity to learn the most interesting facts about France, and Zhanna Agalakova provided them with such an opportunity. The book about Paris sold out like hot cakes.

Distance is not a hindrance to love

The couple managed to live under the same roof in France for quite a short time. Savon was offered a good position at the German Institute in Bochum. The friendly family again had to be divided into two cities. Giorgio began to study physics, Zhanna was very happy that her husband changed his occupation and did what he loved. He was a Sunday dad for two years, after which he realized that he could no longer do this, and returned to France, where he took up financial mathematics. And now, twenty years later, the lovers have truly become inseparable.

Together forever

In Paris, Savona became a consultant to well-known risk and money management companies, and also began to play stocks of various organizations on the stock exchanges. The most important thing is that Giorgio can do all this at home in the evening. And during the day, he gladly helps his wife do household chores, together they meet their daughter from school. Alice studies at a French educational institution, but additionally attends Russian and Italian language courses twice a week.

Zhanna Agalakova still works as a correspondent. How long this will last - she does not know, but so far she likes everything, and the fact that they are all together brings only joy and positive emotions every day.
