The private life of Enrico Montesano: from ex-wives to marriage with Teresa Trisorio, the six children and the scandal that overwhelmed him on Dancing with the Stars 2022.
Iconic actor, showman, host and for a few years – recently – also a political activist. Enrico Montesano perfectly embodies the qualities of both an artist and a multifaceted character. Born in 1945, riding the wave for over fifty years, Enrico today – September 29, 2024 – will be in the studio of Domenica In to retrace the fundamental stages of his career and private life. Before listening to what he will say to Mara Venier, let’s discover some news about him: from ex-wives to wife Teresa Trisorio, from children to the scandal that hit him two years ago on Dancing with the Stars.
Enrico Montesano, who is wife Teresa Trisorio
Behind Enrico Montesano’s success is a woman, Teresa Trisorio, his third wife, who has supported him through all phases of his career and in his struggles for the last 30 years. According to information found online, the two met in Rome in the early ’90s and officially declared their relationship with a kiss on Via Veneto in front of paparazzi. Enrico and Teresa got married in 1992 and from their marriage were born two children, Michele Enrico (in 1996) and Marco Valerio (1997); both followed in their father’s footsteps and became actors. There is very little information about Trisorio, as Montesano has always protected her privacy by avoiding exposing their life to the public. The woman is said to have worked for years as her husband’s artistic manager (but this news has never been officially confirmed by the Roman actor) and has always supported him in his struggles, both on stage and in the square.
Montesano, the X-mas scandal on Dancing: wife’s words
In 2022, for example, when Enrico Montesano was disqualified from Dancing with the Stars after wearing a t-shirt with the ‘X Mas’ logo (the squad considered by many to be one of the symbols of fascism) during rehearsals, and the phrase “Memento audere semper” on his back, his third wife came forward and defended him publicly: “Enrico made a mistake, let’s say he’s an easy target. Contrary to what is said and believed, he has no political godfathers, he is a free man. In this case, it was pure carelessness.” Also on that occasion, Teresa Trisorio took a jab at Selvaggia Lucarelli, a judge on Dancing with the Stars, who ‘ignited’ the scandal against Enrico Montesano by publishing photos of the actor with the ‘incriminated’ t-shirt on her social profiles: “I was told that the judge Selvaggia Lucarelli, who started the case, was bombarded with messages on social media accusing her of staying silent because she was part of the program. Instead, no, she immediately denounced it. It’s true she could have shared with the authors before putting everything in the chat, but that’s how it went.”
Teresa, moreover, while staying in the shadows, has accompanied her husband in his recent political and social battles, such as those carried out by the Roman actor during and after the Covid pandemic against the obligation of vaccines, masks, and the introduction of the green pass.
Enrico Montesano, private life: ex-wives and children
Before his relationship with Teresa Trisorio, Enrico Montesano had several important women in his life. As a young man, he was in a relationship with Marina Spadafora (who later became a renowned fashion designer worldwide) and from their love in 1986 was born the actor’s first son, Mattia, who now works as a director of photography and cinema producer. He later married Tamara Moltrasia, with whom he had three children: Lavinia (about whom little is known), Tommaso (journalist) and Oliver (set designer).
