the private life of Gina Lollobrigida She was plagued by misfortunes, both in love and in terms of personal possessions. You have been the victim of scams and heartbreak.
She was not only a great actress, an Italian cinema diva who went beyond the borders of her country (she has her Hollywood star in the Hall of Fame).
At the beginning of the 70s, Lollobrigida decides that her artistic passion takes her elsewhere: she leaves the cinema (to which she will return only twenty years later) to become a photographer, gaining notoriety, photographing stars and politicians (including Fidel Castro), fellow adventurers from his previous life and great artists. She also tried her luck as a sculptor and toured the world with her exhibitions of hers.
But her personal life was much more troubled. She was (officially) married only once, in 1949, to the Slovenian doctor Milko Skofic. She had her only child with him, and they divorced in 1971.
At the age of 90, she revealed that she was raped when she was very young and explained that this pain scarred her for life.
The “Lollo” has never admitted or denied the loves related to the great actors with whom she worked and who would have lost their heads for her.
Even today, a legal battle is underway with his son Andrea Milko Skofic, who accuses an employee of his mother of after tricking her into stealing much of her fortune.
Until she suffered a fall at her home in Rome in September 2022, including a fractured femur, which forced her to undergo an operation from which she recovered, she lived alone in the large villa on the Appia Antica, without being at all a diva. .
Gina accepted her candidacy in the last elections, for the single-member constituency of the Senate of Latina, and in other constituencies for the “sovereign and popular Italy” list. It wasn’t the first time: in 1999 her name appears on the list of Democrats for the European elections.
Legal issues
His last years were also marked by legal problems. Since 2021, the diva has had a support administrator, appointed by the Court to protect her assets, as requested in the legal action by her son Andrea Milko Skofic.
At the center of the investigation by the Piazzale Clodio prosecutors is the former representative of the actress, Andrea Piazzolla, accused of having damaged “an incompetent man”. Antonio Salvi also ended up on trial with him, the man who allegedly acted as intermediary with an auction house in the sale of about 350 objects owned by Lollobrigida.
Much earlier, in 2010, she secretly married the Spanish businessman Javier Rigau, thirty years her junior. But the diva later claimed that she had deceived her into marrying and, after a judicial process in which Rigau was acquitted, she obtained the annulment of the marriage by the Vatican.
He spent his last years in his imposing villa on the Appian Way in Rome accompanied by an assistant, including the aforementioned Andrea Piazzola, 35, accused as we said of appropriating his immense patrimony.
