They also remembered their mother, who passed away on March 3, 2025, following a battle with pancreatic cancer after receiving palliative care in Rome. The announcement comes around the period of what would have been the actress’s 73rd birthday.

Andrea Rizzoli, a 46-year-old television author and producer, married Meriggioli on May 2, 2024. The family had previously moved their wedding date forward to ensure Giorgi could participate in the ceremony despite her declining health.
