The world mourns the loss of an icon: on January 16, 2023, film legend Gina Lollobrigida her last breath . The Italian actress died in Rome at the age of 95. Now the will of the film diva has been read and it is clear: her considerable fortune is to be divided between two men.
January 19th was Film icon Gina Lollobrigida buried in Rome . The whole world now knows that the once “most beautiful woman in the world” has been at odds with her only son Milko Skofic Jr. (65) for years. Nevertheless, he inherits half of her fortune, which includes her villa in Rome, an apartment in Monte Carlo, other properties and expensive jewelry.
The other heir is her closest confidante, assistant Andrea Piazzolla (36). In an RTL interview in 2021, Gina explained: 'Andrea is my salvation. I love him like a son. I like him because he deserves it.'
According to the will, Lollobrigida allegedly gave her assistant a specific assignment. He should continue her commitment to art and have the works of art he inherited published in exhibitions around the world.
Gina Lollobrigida's great passion was art: as early as 1946 she was studying sculpture and painting on a scholarship at an art school in Rome. In addition to works of art, the actress also bequeathed half of her fortune to her assistant.
Probably another reason for discord in the family : Gina Lollobrigida's son Milko Skofic Jr. and his son Dimitri (29) have been at odds with her for years because they accuse their assistant of enriching himself with the film diva. Therefore, Milko Skofic Jr. will incapacitate his mother at the end of 2021 in order to assign her a new guardian who will dispose of her expenses in the future. However, he cannot take action against the actress' will, which was drawn up in 2017.
Gina Lollobrigida was born in Italy in 1927, took on her first theater roles, studied and trained as an opera singer. At some point she is discovered on the street and takes part in various beauty pageants. She soon became an icon in the film business and married the Slovenian doctor Milko Skofic in 1949. Their marriage lasted until 1971, after which Gina Lollobrigida never married again. She devotes herself primarily to art and was also politically involved . Nevertheless, she will remain in the memory of all film fans as one of the greatest icons of our time. (you know)
