Stefania Sandrelli Says She Had Sex With Gino Paoli on St. Peter’s Stairway in Rai2 Interview

Her Belve appearance focuses on candid recollections from a 1960s affair that shaped her family.

Overview

  • In the episode airing Tuesday on Rai2’s Belve, hosted by Francesca Fagnani, Sandrelli recounts a sexual encounter with Paoli “on the stair toward the dome” of St. Peter’s Basilica.
  • She revisits the birth of her daughter Amanda, who arrived three months after the son Paoli had with his wife Anna, a period she says Paoli denied paternity.
  • Sandrelli says she later spoke with Anna about those years and that they were able to laugh together about the past.
  • Becoming emotional, she recalls the period when Amanda lived with Paoli and Anna and says she left her husband Nichi Pende because she would not give up her daughter.
  • She describes sex as central in her life, credits Paoli with having “initiated” her, confirms she often forgoes underwear, and there were no immediate responses reported from Paoli, Anna, or Vatican authorities.
