Adnkronos (Adnkronos) – "Me in love with Prince Pallavicino? Never say never." Thus Manuela Arcuri, a guest on Verissimo today, Sunday, October 25, spoke publicly for the first time about her relationship with Prince Domenico Antonio Pallavicino, her employer at the Pallavicino Foundation. In recent weeks, rumors have swirled around the actress about an alleged relationship with the prince, sparking controversy over their age difference: she is 49, he is 82.
In Silvia Toffanin's living room, the actress commented on the viral photos of the two holding hands in Monte Carlo: "It seems to me they've built a story around innocent photos where there was never a declaration, engagement, or wedding. It's simply a hand." Manuela Arcuri and Prince Pallavicino have known each other for over five years: "We've established a good working relationship, we collaborate together.
I am the spokesperson for his foundation and I am his image. We collaborate and work together. He is a friend to me, he has always behaved well but discreetly, he is a prince in name and in deed. A very cultured person who can also give me advice, he is very wise. We took these trips together for work."
The actress then spoke about the haters' reaction: "It hurt me. They attacked me and the prince. One day I woke up and read that I was supposed to marry the prince in December. I understand I'm a public figure, but they made too much of a fuss over simple photos. They made exaggerated, malicious comments."
Manuela Arcuri then denied: "There's no relationship. I like him as a person, I like his depth as a human being. I like having coffee with him, he knows how to laugh and joke. He's a wonderful person." And when asked by Toffanin if there will ever be the possibility of falling in love in the future: "Never say never in my life, that's not the case right now. Right now I respect him, he's my employer." And regarding the prejudices surrounding the age difference, the actress is keen to emphasize: "Everyone makes their own choices. Even if that's not the case in this case," the actress says, emphasizing that there are no feelings at the moment, at least on her part. "Is he in love with me? You'll have to ask him. Maybe he has a weakness, yes, he's a man." The actress therefore doesn't deny that there is a relationship based on a deep bond, but for now it's just friendship: "For now there's nothing else. There's no basis for future love, I've never even thought about it."
