Heavily influenced by his idol, Elvis Presley, and the 1950s rock revolution, he is also known as the most famous dancer of the Hula hoop fad. For the last 40 years he has retained his popularity in Italy, selling millions of records and appearing in numerous TV shows and movies (including a short appearance in Fellini's La Dolce Vita, before becoming a famous artist). In the latter respect, he has also been a creator of a comic genre, with his characteristic walking and his facial expressions. For the most part, his films were commercially successful, in fact in the 1970s and part of the 1980s, he was the king of the Italian box office in low budget movies. As an actor, critics point to Serafino (1968), directed by Pietro Germi, as his best effort.
As a director he frequently casts Ornella Muti, Eleonora Giorgi and his wife Claudia Mori. His best movie like director is "Yuppi Du", winner of The Golden Palm at Cannes Festival. He and Claudia are the parents of Rosita, Rosalinda and Vincent Celentano, the latter most notable to worldwide audiences for playing the Satan character in Mel Gibson`s The Passion of the Christ. He also works often as a host for several Italian television shows.
His 1968 song "Azzurro" has regained popularity in 2006, due to it being the anthem of the Italian national football team (the Azzurri) who won the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The artist Vincent Fiorello has also created a remix of the song.
His last concert-event in 2012, after 18 years without live performances, was transmitted on Canale 5, with over 9 million viewers both evenings.

Sai dar la giora ad ogni cuor
E' Natale ancora
La grande festa
Che sa
Tutti conquistar
Un canto vien dal ciel
E con la neve dona a noi
Un Natale pieno d'amor
Un Natale di felicita
Col bianco tuo candor neve
Sai dar la giora ad ogni cuor
E' Natale ancora
La grande festa
Che sa
Tutti conquistar
Un canto vien dal ciel
Lento
E con la neve dona a noi
Un Natale pieno d'amor
Un Natale di felicita
The lyrics to Adriano Celentano's song Bianco Natale, which translates to "White Christmas," capture the sentiment of the holiday season in Italy. The first verse talks about the beauty of the snow which covers the world. It is a perfect reflection of the purity and innocence associated with Christmas. The snow is noted for bringing joy to everyone's hearts, and it is a sentiment shared by many people around the world.
The second verse speaks of the heartfelt emotions evoked by the season. The slow pace of the music matches the significance of the holiday and its themes of love and happiness. The chorus comes back to the centrality of snow in Christmas, that it is the key element that makes everyone feel good and joyous.
