Personal Life
Valentino and Giancarlo Giammetti met in 1960 and have been together, both romantically and in business, for more than 50 years. In the film Valentino: The Last Emperor, they discuss how they met.
Valentino's mother, Teresa, moved from Voghera to Rome to help with the business. Eventually he told both his parents that he was engaged to Italian actress Marilù Tolo, the only woman he had ever truly loved and with whom he had wished to have children.
