Gina Lollobrigida, the old diva who ended up married through deception to the Spanish Javier Rigau

Gila Lollobrigida She died at the age of 95 when, finally, she seemed to have a peaceful life, far from the love affairs that had taken advantage of her until a very old age and martyred her. After a first marriage when she was young, at the age of 70, the beautiful Italian actress starred in a bizarre wedding with the Catalan lawyer javier rigau, 34 years younger than her, with whom she was married from 2010 to 2019, when the Vatican annulled this marriage, at the request of the actress. Even then, the star blindly trusted her personal assistant, Andrew Piazzolla32 years old, who together with her parents squandered the fortune of the unforgettable protagonist of Salome and the Queen of Sheba.

Gina had a relationship with Ribau from 2004 to 2007. They had met at a party in Monaco years before and had wedding plans in 2006, as announced Hola on a cover of the time.

However, the Italian regretted it. However, they ended up married because Ribao got the actress’s signature to do it by proxy and performed a ceremony with a woman who posed as Gina. The lawyer would have made him sign a document before a notary some time ago that served him to marry “on request” and become the heir to his assets, a fortune estimated at more than 35 million euros.

Logically, the Italian initiated legal actions to undo a marriage that she had not starred in. Regarding her relationship with the young lawyer, “La Lollo”, as she was known, she clarified that there had never been anything carnal: “There was nothing intimate between us. When we traveled together, we slept in separate rooms and we never had intimate relations. We never I went to his house in Barcelona. He did come several times to dinner at my house in Rome,” the Roman star then declared.

While she was trying to get rid of her “marriage” with Rigau, a lawyer appeared during the legal dispute who claimed to have accompanied her to her wedding and that, therefore, it was absolutely legal. Finally, Gina was able to get rid of the young Catalan in February 2019, when the Vatican annulled this marriage, at the request of the actress.

But the Hollywood star, who had had as lovers Howard Hughes and the prince Rainiero lll, he had to face scammers again in his old age, before even getting his marriage annulled. The Italian justice decreed the seizure of the actress’s assets after admitting to her processing the complaint filed by her ex-husband, her son Milko (born from his first marriage) and Dimitri, his grandson. After more than a year of investigation, the Rome Prosecutor’s Office considered that there were sufficient indications to confirm that Lollobrigida could have been the victim of a scam committed by Andrea Piazzola, her assistant, to decapitalize her.

Andrea Piazzola, and her parents, who had lived with Gina for years, were denounced as if they were a kind of “gang” that took advantage of the actress to squander and plunder her assets for their own benefit and taking advantage of her mental weakness. This family had been the instigator for the old woman to break up with her only son, Milko, and with her grandson, who lived with her grandmother until in 2017 when she found herself on the street with her suitcase and without any explanation.

Piazzola, as administrator of the assets of the unforgettable protagonist of bread, love and fantasysold three of Gina’s valuable homes in the center of Rome, bought luxury cars and transferred funds from Lollobrigida to her parents’ account worth hundreds of thousands of euros.

In 2019, the Italian Justice ruled that the actress Gina Lollobrigida was not in her right mind at 92 years of age and therefore disabled her to manage her assets and fortune, squandered by Piazzola and her parents.
