Andrea Innocenti Away from the TV drama spotlight, Manuela Arcuri is experiencing a period of significant personal change. After separating from her ex-husband, Giovanni Di Gianfrancesco, the Anagni -born actress is single again and has begun to frequent unusual circles, especially those in the world of art and philanthropy.
The most recent rumors come from sources close to her circle of friends, who report a growing intimacy with Prince Domenico Antonio Pallavicino, an eighty-year-old Genoese nobleman.
According to rumors, the two are considering a wedding to be celebrated in Liguria by the end of the year, with a tentative date of December.
The role of the Pallavicino Foundation in the connection between the two
The first meeting between Arcuri and Pallavicino dates back to 2023, when the director was selected as a testimonial for the Pallavicino Foundation.
The foundation, established in 2019, aims to preserve the artistic legacy of the historic Genoese family. During that time, Manuela participated in promotional videos showcasing tapestries, paintings, and other masterpieces housed in the 16th-century palace in Piazza Fontane Marose. The collaboration later evolved into a series of commitments, including hosting the foundation's charity gala and attending the inauguration of the first flight of the airline Airidea in June 2026, in which Pallavicino holds a 40% stake through Global Group.
The trip to Paris and the media testimonies
Photos recently released by the weekly magazine Chi show the couple aboard a private jet bound for Paris, where they enjoyed breakfast in the elegant salons of the Ritz and strolled along the famous boulevards. In one image, the two hold hands, while Manuela casts an affectionate glance at the prince, fueling suspicions of a bond deeper than merely professional.
Prince Pallavicino's profile and his philanthropic activities
The 82-year-old belongs to one of Italy's oldest families, the Pallavicino family, recognized by the Ligurian Archives Superintendency as holding the honorable title of Prince of the Holy Roman Empire . His artistic heritage, housed in the same Genoese palace, is considered priceless. Among his most recent charitable initiatives is a donation of €350 to the Gaslini Hospital. Pallavicino also served as Consul General of the Principality of Monaco in Genoa, hosting dignitaries such as Albert II and the Princes of Savoy over the years.
The prince is also known for his passion for art and his support of cultural projects, qualities that, according to reports, particularly impressed Manuela. The actress stated in an interview that working with the foundation allowed her to experience a "different, almost chivalrous" world, and that meeting Pallavicino prompted her to consider the possibility of abandoning her film career, at least temporarily.
