From parties to adult choices

Tiziano, the son of Italian immigrants, grew up in an entrepreneurial family. His father ran a business in espresso machines for the catering industry. Later he himself took a different path and was involved in real estate among other things. His relationship with Máxima ended during her first year at university. After that, he entered into a relationship with a model, got married, and became a father.

Always remained discreet

Interestingly, while some of Máxima's exes later liked to talk about their past with the queen, Tiziano did not. He always stayed in the background. The only thing he ever said about her was tellingly simple:

"She is a good girl. And very intelligent."

A silent love from another life – long before the crown.
