Massimo Cacciari Marries Longtime Partner Chiara Patriarca in Private Milan Ceremony

The marriage became public only after municipal notices prompted a press reconstruction verifying a December ceremony.

Overview

  • Cacciari, 81, and Patriarca, 52, wed in Milan in the first half of December in a ceremony kept out of public view.
  • Key details remain undisclosed, including whether the rite was civil or religious and the precise location.
  • Publication notices in the civil registries of Venice and Milan appeared in late October listing the intended spouses.
  • Cacciari had dismissed early reports of the wedding as “fake news” before the recent press confirmation.
  • The pair met in Venice in the 1990s and later began living together in Milan during the pandemic, with Patriarca maintaining a low public profile in cooperative training work.
