Marianna Pia "Maria" Villani Scicolone (born Villani[1] on 11 May 1938) is an Italian television personality, columnist and singer.[2]

Scicolone was born in Rome to Romilda Villani and Riccardo Scicolone Murillo, and grew up between Pozzuoli and Naples with her mother and her elder sister, actress Sophia Loren. Her father only recognized her years later upon payment by Loren.[1][3]

Scicolone is the first wife of Romano Mussolini (son of Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini), whom she married in 1962 and with whom she had two daughters: Alessandra and Elisabetta.[4][5]
