Who is Simone Pontesilli, the husband of Ferzan Ozpetek guest on Domenica In
Ferzan Ozpetek is a guest this afternoon on Domenica In to present his new novel, “Hidden Heart”. But what is the private life of the great director? The Turkish writer of The Ignorant Fairies has had an important love affair for a few years, even if he doesn't like being in the spotlight. Ferzan Ozpetek's husband and life partner is called Simone Pontesilli.
The couple has been happily in love for about 20 years and after 14 years of love, in 2016, they decided to get married during a private wedding attended by their closest friends and relatives. On very rare occasions Ferzan Ozpetek spoke about her partner. In an interview you specified: “Married is not accurate, there is no marriage in Italy. I hate it when they call me 'her husband'. I don't have a husband, but a life partner, a travel companion.”
The director revealed that his partner Simone is the protagonist of his second novel entitled “You are my life”. A silent couple, but who love each other madly without needing to publish selfies or stories on social media. Simone Pontesilli, born and raised in Palestrina (municipality in the province of Rome), is Ferzan Ozpetek's life partner. We don't have much information about him given how secretive he is.
