Alessandro Benetton and Gloria Tonon, the new couple debuts in Cortina

In the end the trajectory brought Alessandro Benetton’s heart back to the starting point, Treviso. Four years after the end of his marriage to the ski champion Deborah Compagnoni, the entrepreneur from Treviso, president of the family holding Edizione spa and of the investment company 21 Invest, discreetly comes out of the closet and allows himself to be photographed with Gloria Tonona former Miss and model from Treviso like him. The backdrop is Cortina, a place of Alessandro’s heart. The occasion is a walk for two in the centre, among the art galleries. The meeting had been going on for a few months and the spark would have struck at 21gallery, the contemporary art gallery in Villorba, in the industrial belt of the city, in which Alessandro invested together with a group of entrepreneurs.

A special acquaintance, which grew over the months, lived with discretion by both and today also shared with those close to Alessandro. No escapes forward though: the two have been dating for some time but for Alessandro the absolute priority remains Agnese, Tobias and Lucethe three children born from the union with Deborah Compagnoni, who after the separation chose to live with their father in the villa on the outskirts of Treviso (even if they are now studying abroad). Benetton spent Christmas with them in Cortina. And he dedicated his first greeting of the year to them.

Gloria Tonon, 38 years old, twenty-two years younger than Alessandro, has been close to the Benetton family for some time for professional reasons. His father Giuliano and his uncle Celeste are among the most famous restaurateurs of the Treviso area, always friends of the Benettons. A degree from Ca’ Foscari in tourism economics, finalist in Miss Italia in 2005, where, at the age of eighteen, she won the title of Miss Mila Girl in Gambissima Gloria today works as a model and entrepreneur in the food & beverage field where she is co-founder of the DivoRosso brand, Treviso radicchio liqueur for which he takes care of the marketing. What unites the two is a great passion for sport and the mountains and an interest in art as well as origins and places of life. Gloria also shares Alessandro’s essential trait, understatement.
