Lapo Elkann and his wife Joana Lemos, on their honeymoon in Madrid
JOAQUINA DUEÑAS
Lapo Elkann was known as the Italian 'golden bachelor' and his life has been marked by decades of big parties, scandals and hangovers. However, he now leads a much more discreet life next to his recent wife, Joana Lemos, whom he married on October 7 in the Portuguese Algarve. Hola magazine has discovered them enjoying their honeymoon in Madrid where they have stayed in an exclusive hotel in the Salamanca district.
A few years ago Elkann decided to redirect his life and focus on both the personal and the professional. The rich Agnelli heir began to lead a much quieter life in 2017, but it was in 2019 that he took a real turn. After recovering from a tragic accident in Israel that brought him to the brink of death, he turned to charitable work. Months after that event that marked his life, he met the rally driver Joana Lemos with whom he just married at the beginning of last month, coinciding with his 44th birthday. They are both motor lovers, she as a driver and he as a member of one of the most important sagas in the automobile world, that of the Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino, better known as FIAT.
Since the coronavirus pandemic broke out, the wealthy heir and his partner have dedicated themselves to fighting covid-19 in both Italy and Portugal. The self-proclaimed "solidarity businessman" spends his time holding charity galas in which his friends like Cristiano Ronaldo participate. Gone are the days of excesses. In return, he toasts with sparkling water on his honeymoon walks through Madrid.
