Since the birth of Ana Sandra, Alessandro Lequio and Ana Obregon have handled the news in very different ways.
Alessandro Lequio is in the spotlight these days for one of the most disruptive news that has broken into the gossip press in years, the birth of Ana Sandra Lequio, daughter through surrogate pregnancy of her late son Aless. Since the news broke, the successive covers that his ex, Ana Obregon, has been starring in, have had their answer, sometimes in a more subtle way and other times more explicit, by Alessandro Lecquio, the biologist's former partner and father of Aless.
His last response from him has occurred on The Ana Rosa program and later on his own social networks. When asked in the Telecinco space about the book that her son wrote and Obregon finished, she replied: “I have been married for 25 years and with a family. It's that I have another family. My life is different. I don't have to find out about other people's lives. That's remote past." And when he was asked about his new granddaughter, Ana Sandra, he replied: "I like mine, my children." A few hours later, Alessandro posted an image on his Instagram in which he appeared with his deceased son. "Always walking in the same direction," he wrote in what many have seen as a forbidden message towards his ex.
Images of Aless as a child and biting what has been colloquially known as artichokes, the foam rubber that covers the microphones of television reporters, and the crusade that Ana Obregón maintained to have the faces of minors pixelated remain in the collective imagination. old, but both his son and his father, Alessandro Lequio, were already famous before they were born.
Alessandro Vittorio Eugenio Enrico Lequio, who came into the world on June 17, 1960, in Lausanne, Switzerland, where his family had moved from Italy in times of fascism, is the great-grandson of King Alfonso XIII and Victoria Eugenia of Battenberg on the part his mother, and it was his grandmother, the Infanta Beatriz, who carried him in her arms when he was publicly presented, according to the journalist and writer Ruth Baza in her book 'La dolce vita de Alessandro Lequio', an unauthorized biography published in the 1990s after many hours of confidentiality with its protagonist and an intense investigation.
At the time of the Lequio scandals (when this book was created he was a partner of Sonia Moldes), he was already showing himself vulnerable and revealed some of the keys that explain his complicated life journey, which reached the worst moment imaginable with the death of his second son. Ewing's sarcoma took the life of Aless Lequio on May 13, 2020, at the age of 27 and the deep pain it left in his parents will always be with them.
According to the aforementioned book, Lequio was also seriously ill when he was only three months old due to a stomach ailment, which, to save his life, led his parents, Clemente Lequio di Assaba, son of Francesco Lequio, Italian ambassador to Spain (a group of Italian fascists was present at his funeral in the church of San Francisco el Grande in Madrid in February 1943), and Sandra Torlonia, first cousin of King Juan Carlos I.
The family tragedies, deaths, divorces, and infidelities that have marked the life of Alessandro Lecquio
His was a love story against all odds, which found opposition from Sandra Torlonia's family, who considered that Clemente Lequio di Assaba was not the ideal candidate for hers. In addition to having a reputation as a playboy, he had been married to the Peruvian billionaire María Ferrer (tragically deceased in a car accident), with whom he had a son, Francisco Jorge Luciano, whom, according to Ruth Baza's book, Alessandro only saw once. time in his life, when he was 22 years old, and that he would currently be residing in Montevideo.
Even so, love prevailed and Sandra and Clemente were secretly married on June 15, 1958, in the church of San Nicolás de Bari in Rome, with the consequent scandal among high society. Alessandro himself would have told the journalist the parallelism he found between his life and that of his father since apparently Clemente Lequio had wanted to take his son to Italy and had not succeeded, in the same way, that he had had difficulties in his relationship with his eldest son, Clemente, due to his bitter differences with his mother, the Italian model Antonia Dell'Atte.
An event that deeply marked Alessandro Lequio was the unexpected death of his father, on June 28, 1971, at his home in Turin, at the age of 45. According to what is recorded in Baza's book, he "had suffered a heart attack while taking the cool air on the balcony and had rushed into the street." The television collaborator was 11 years old and two years younger than his sister, Desideria, who is now the mother of two children, Giovanni and Giorgio.
They then had to deal with a difficult emotional situation and Alessandro would end up in two boarding schools, first at the Real Collegio Carlo Alberto, where strict discipline and physical punishment as a coercive measure led his mother to take him out, and then at the Institut Montana Zugerberg from Zürich, in Switzerland.
After graduating in History at the University of Turin, he married Antonia Dell'Atte by civil law in the Milan City Hall on October 12, 1987, they had their son, Clemente, on October 2, 1988, and two years later they would end up in Spain. The rest of the events are already well known: his infidelity to Ana Obregón, the birth of Aless, his media love affairs (the most complicated, perhaps, the one he had with Mar Flores), and his almost 25 years of love with María Palacios, with whom he has had a daughter, Ginevra, five years old.
We cannot ignore other family losses, such as that of his maternal uncles, Marino, who died in 1996 from complications of HIV at the age of 56, and Marco, on December 5, 2014, just a few days before his mother passed away. , Sandra Torlonia, on New Year's Eve of that same year, at the age of 78. Her ashes were deposited in the Pinerolo cemetery, 70 kilometers from Turin, together with her husband, as she wished. On that hard day, Aless Lequio emotionally supported her father, and Antonia Dell'Atte and Ana Obregón left their differences behind to say goodbye to the one who was also, as well as a cousin, a great friend, and a confidant of King Juan Carlos.
