Maria De Filippi and the others: all the women of Maurizio Costanzo

TV presenter, journalist, author but also a man with a busy love life. Maurice Costanzo it wasn’t just the public figure we all know. And thereHis private life is at least as noteworthy as his professional one. Starting with the many weddings.

The star of the small screen, in fact, got married well four times. Today we all remember how the husband of Maria De Filippibut before her, the conductor had also sworn eternal love to Lori Sammartino, Flaminia Morandi and Marta Flavi.

It was the year 1963, when a young Costanzo became the husband of the photojournalist Lori Sammartino. Even then the conductor was someone who paid no attention to schemes and prejudices: in fact she was fourteen years older than him. But her age difference doesn’t stop him from taking her to the altar. The marriage, however, does not last long in 1973 he tries again and marries the journalist Flaminia Morandi. She, who asks her first husband Alberto Michelini for divorce on his behalf, makes him a father. In fact, they are born from their love the two children of Maurizio Costanzo: Camilla, born in 1973, and Saverio born two years later. Even this time, however, yes is not forever. It seems that what divided them was his work, career and success.

In the late 70s, the conductor lives a love affair with Simona Izzo. A flirtation that lasted several years: in the 80s the two even went to live together, but they never married. Instead, it is the TV presenter who brings Maurizio Costanzo back to the altar Marta Flavi. The two got married in 1989 but the idyll did not last long and in 1995 the third divorce arrived.

Costanzo, however, does not lose hope. He gives love yet another chance. But with one awareness: «After three marriages, the fourth is either good or you stop» he said in an interview with the weekly Who. And, in fact, the fourth wife will be the right one, the one who accompanied him until his death. In 1995, in fact, he married Maria DeFilippi and the life of the couple we all know begins. The two adopted a son, Gabriele. And they never hid the feeling that bound them: he was fascinated by her intelligence; her from his kindness.

Maurizio Costanzo has always known he wanted Maria De Filippi by his side until the last day. «I would like to die with my hand in Mary’s, without realizing it, without suffering» he had revealed in an interview with Corriere della Sera released some time ago. Because he knew that the real fortune of his life was not only the career he had built but the meeting with his fourth wife. «I always hoped to have a lasting union, to share an existence. Luckily I met Maria. More than a fortune. Much more».
