Adriano Galliani gets married for the third time: a marriage combining football, show business and politics

Monza Calcio CEO Adriano Galliani (80) will marry Helga Costa, his partner of 13 years, today, and Adnkronos can reveal who will be there at this celebration that combines football, entertainment and politics. A Spaniard of Brazilian origin, Helga 'is extraordinary, despite the mess and my extended family she has become a reference point, especially for my daughter,' said the groom, who has three children and two marriages behind him: to Daniela Rosati and Malika El Hazzari. Last October, Galliani was elected senator, thanks to the votes he won in the Monza constituency, beating the radical Marco Cappato, candidate of the centre-left. Despite this, the ceremony in the town hall will be celebrated at 4pm by mayor Paolo Pilotto of the PD, in front of witnesses Cristina Rossello, a Forza Italia senator and famous Milanese lawyer, and Gigi Marzullo (Galliani was best man together with Sabrina Ferilli at the Rai journalist's wedding in 2018).

After the fateful 'yes', the 200 or so guests will gather at Villa Gernetto in Lesmo, where Berlusconi wanted to create the 'University of Freedom', a project that never got off the ground. Today it often hosts Monza training camps and is owned by Fininvest Real Estate, the company that manages the real estate assets of the Cavaliere's family, of which Galliani is president. At the table of the bride and groom will sit Fedele Confalonieri and Marcello Dell'Utri, the Cavaliere's other historical collaborators, together with his latest partner Marta Fascina, Flavio Briatore (with Elisabetta Gregoraci by his side), Diego Della Valle, Gabriele Gravina, Antonio Tajani and Pierferdinando Casini, the only two prominent politicians among the guests. At the next table, together with Paolo Berlusconi (among others, honorary president of Monza), will be Fausto and Germana Leali, Luana Ravegnini and her husband Renato Della Valle, and three generals: Michele Adinolfi and Giuseppe Zafarana (Guardia di Finanza), and Carlo Gualdi (Carabinieri).

The place of honour, of course, is for the world of football between Milan and Monza: between coaches such as Carlo Ancelotti, Max Allegri, Alessandro Nesta, historic sports managers such as Ariedo Braida, Milan flag bearers such as Daniele Massaro, Riccardo Montolivo and Leonardo with his wife Anna Billò, a sports journalist whom he asked to marry during a TV link-up. Speaking of female journalists, there will also be 'Unomattina' presenter Daniela Ferolla with her husband Vincenzo Novari. The Monza delegation is obviously large: in addition to players such as captain Matteo Pessina and defender Pablo Marí, there will be technical advisor François Modesto, sports director Michele Franco, operations director Daniela Gozzi, and general secretary Davide Guglielmetti. Other guests include the founder of MilanLab, chiropractor Jean-Pierre Meersseman, wine king Giancarlo Aneri, and Paolo and Claudia dal Pozzo d'Annone, aristocratic swimming companions from Forte dei Marmi.
