Gina Lollobrigida's personal assistant in the news
The personal assistant to Gina Lollobrigida is in the news, but not for the reasons he would like. The late superstar actress died earlier this month at the age of 95, and her estranged son claims that the bombshell model was manipulated by her assistant.
In a strange twist, both Gina and her son, Milko Skofic Jr, had hired lawyers and were suing each other over money disputes. Lollobrigida claimed that her son was only concerned about getting her money, and Skofic claimed that Gina's assistant, Andrea Piazzolla, was manipulating the star into signing away her fortune to him (the assistant).

What's it like to be the personal assistant to Gina Lollobrigida?
As with most personal assistant jobs to celebrities, they start small and become bigger once trust is established. In this case, Piazzolla started off as a driver and he was only 24 years old at the time. Eventually, he was promoted to the Property Manager at the estate, and then became her personal business manager. The professional relationship lasted 10 years and ended only because of Lollobrigida's death.
As the star's assistant, Piazzolla accompanied Lollobrigida to red carpet premiers, and they split their time between Monaco and Italy. During his tenure with the Italian star, the assistant also acquired a Pagani supercar; but it's unknown if it was gifted to him or purchased with illicit funds.
