Raffaella Carrà Adopted Longtime Aide as Sole Heir, Foundation Confirms

The adoption came to light during a Rome court dispute over a musical.

Overview

  • Gian Luca Pelloni Bulzoni, her trusted secretary for nearly 30 years, was adopted and designated sole heir, according to reports citing court documents.
