Love is blind, they say. But when there is an Italian or an Italian in the middle, she seems to see very well. Case Monica Bellucci and Tim Burton in fact, this is just the latest in a long tradition of love in the name of globalization, when one of our celebrities wins the heart of a foreign star. That’s all the sacrifices reaped over the years by Italian cupids…
Monica Bellucci
You can only start with her and not only for chronological reasons: Bellucci deserves to be leaders, because she is a champion in breaking other people’s hearts. In fact, he conquered two stars of the big screen. The first is a sex symbol. Vstimulus Kassel: their love broke out on the set of the movie Apartment. They were envied, they were beautiful and every -issimi that comes to mind, not to mention the fact that they gave life to an unexpected partnership between France and Italy. On the enthusiasm of the fans, they got married in 1999, and their family idyll lasted 14 years. After that, alone again, Monica Bellucci conquered none other than Hollywood’s most forward-thinking director, namely Tim Burton. The first rumors circulated in February, then, this summer, there was an official confession, followed by a long interview with Bellucci, who states that she is “very happy” when talking about “the man Tim” because it belongs to the person, not the character, that she fell in love.
Elisabetta Canalis and George Clooney
We understand that this couple is definitely older, but they are arguably one of the most iconic. Because in that now distant 2009 George Clooney it was an unrealizable and forbidden dream of many women (or rather, let’s say, all). And she, our Canalis, defeated him. For gossip lovers, it was like winning the Champions League on hormones. Their idyll, unfortunately, lasted only a couple of years, but managed to ignite the covers of secular magazines. There was even a conspiracy thesis that could be summarized as follows: “he is with her only to pretend, to hide that he is gay.” Today, this thesis has rightly fallen into oblivion. Instead, we are still speculating about the reasons for their breakup: they were never revealed. However, Clooney always speaks highly of Canalis: “she was certainly the woman who made me laugh the most,” he assured more than one interview.
Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy
Another widely discussed story was – and is – the story of Carla (now pronounced with an “a”) Bruni and former Prime Minister Nicolas Sarkozy. The famous Italian singer, now French by adoption, has won the heart of France’s most powerful man. And someone at this moment will object: “Well, that’s how easy it is to win.” No, because our Karla is serious: her passion is not for profit, and the chronicles themselves prove this. In fact, the former first lady didn’t leave her husband when he got into trouble with justice, in 2022, while under house arrest. The accusation was illegal financing of the 2012 presidential election campaign. Carla remained by his side and today, 15 years after their wedding, she is still there to declare in the newspapers: “I love him.” Together they also had a daughter, Julia.
Valeria Golino and Benicio Del Toro
In the beginning – before Bentivoglio and even before Riccardo Scamarchio – there were Benicio del Toro. The Hollywood star was really fascinated by the curly charm of the girl, who at that time was still very young. Valeria Golino. In fact, it was the 80s: Golino was discovered by Lina Wertmüller in Irony of fate, lurking around the corner like a highwayman, managed to notice herself in a couple of films and, thanks to her success, flew to America. Here he took part in a cult Rain Man – Rain Man Barry Levinson, took a chance on becoming Pretty and then joined the cast of the film Big Top Pee-wee – My Little Life. And that’s how he knows Benicio del Toro: He was also in the cast and it was love at first sight. They remained together until 1992.
Stefano Accorsi and Letizia Casta
Ten year love. They stayed together a lot Stephen Accorsi and supermodel Letita Casta: a couple that everyone admires and who made the dream of a generation come true. They met in 2003 and together they had two children: Orlando in 2006 and Athena in 2009. They never got married because marriage was not one of their priorities at the time: they were happy together and that was enough. However, this certainly did not make the separation easier, as Accorsi explained in an interview: “Separation is always painful, the most painful for a family after illness.”
Tao Ruspoli and Olivia Wilde
Harry Styles avoid: in front of you, in the heart Olivia Wilde, was the Italian prince Tao Ruspoli. Okay then: Wilde was then very young (19 years old), the marriage lasted eight years, and it was she who unloaded it, coincidentally just when she became world famous. However, the fact remains: it was the fellow villager who stole Wilde’s heart. Filmmaker, musician and photographer Tao boasts that his father is none other than Prince Alessandro, known as Dado Ruspoli, who died after a life of excess (from drugs to the elite). Tao meets Olivia at the home of a mutual friend: journalist Duncan Campbell, who writes for The Guardian and is married to Julie Christie. A spark flares up, and despite their young age, they decide to get married: she is 19, he is 28. On the school bus, they swear eternal love: the church, apparently, was busy … Anyway, they live together. for eight years until Wilde decides to end the relationship. Ruspoli does not appear to have taken well to the end of their story: Maricler told the magazine that the Wilde story was her last monogamous story. Now he’s for polyamory…
