Ilenia Atzori: Alessandro Florenzi's Wife

Ilenia Atzori is the wife of the Italian footballer Alessandro Florenzi. The couple married on 18 June 2015 in the church of San Pietro in Montorio in Rome, according to Corriere dello Sport. Florenzi, a Roma academy product who also played for Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan and won Euro 2020 with Italy, announced his retirement from professional football on 27 August 2025.

Atzori keeps her life largely private and has no public career that we could confirm, so this page sticks to what the couple and reputable outlets have actually published: the wedding, the family, her Instagram account and the career of the man she married. Everything is dated, and where only one source exists we say so.

Who is Alessandro Florenzi's wife?

Alessandro Florenzi is married to Ilenia Atzori. Italian outlets describe her as a Roman who has been with him since they were young. In a profile, the lifestyle site DiLei says the two have known each other since adolescence in Rome. DiLei also says her family is of Sardinian origin, a claim that rests on that one profile, so treat it as reported rather than confirmed.

Atzori is not a public figure in the traditional sense. We could not find a confirmed profession, a published education history or details about her parents, and we have left all of that out rather than guess. Older versions of this page carried a guessed height, weight, net worth and school record. None of it was sourced, so it has been removed.

Their wedding: Rome, 18 June 2015

Florenzi and Atzori married on the afternoon of Thursday 18 June 2015 at San Pietro in Montorio, the church on the Janiculum hill in Rome that Corriere dello Sport calls one of the most sought-after in the capital. The newspaper listed several football guests, among them Radja Nainggolan, Andrea Bertolacci, Daniele De Rossi, Mattia Destro and Morgan De Sanctis, many with their families. It also noted that Francesco Totti and Roma coach Rudi Garcia were abroad and could not attend. Florenzi's grandmother Aurora, who became a familiar figure in Italian football coverage, was among the guests.

The wedding came while Florenzi was an established first-team player at Roma, the club where he grew up.

Florenzi has shared photos of his wife on his own Instagram account over the years. This post, which he addressed to her, shows the kind of messages he posts for her:

A month later, on their first wedding anniversary on 18 June 2016, he posted this black-and-white wedding photo, again tagging her:

Ilenia Atzori on Instagram

Atzori's Instagram handle is @ileniaatzori, and her account is public as far as we could see. We could not find a published count we can cite reliably, because follower numbers change constantly, so we do not give one. One of her posts is a dedication to her husband, tagging the charity account Florenzi Per Telethon, with the line "Lui è l'Amore della mia vita" (he is the love of my life):

Children

The couple have two children. Their first, a daughter named Penelope, was born in June 2016, while Florenzi briefly left Italy's Euro 2016 camp to be there, as Corriere dello Sport reported. Florenzi has used her name himself, for example in a 2017 Q&A on Roma's official website. A second child was born in 2018, according to Italian media such as DonnaGlamour. Outlets disagree about that child: one profile gives a name, while DonnaGlamour says the name was never revealed. The parents have not published it in anything we could verify, so we do not name or describe the child. In keeping with the family's privacy, this page uses no photos or embeds centred on the children.

Who is Alessandro Florenzi?

Alessandro Florenzi was born in Rome on 11 March 1991. He is a right-back and midfielder who came through Roma's youth system and became one of the best known Roman players of his generation, famous in particular for his long-range goal against Barcelona in a 1-1 Champions League group match on 16 September 2015 and for his emotional connection with the city.

Because the old version of this article was written when he was still at Roma and described him as a current "Roma star", here is the dated timeline of his career, based on English Wikipedia and the club and press reports cited below:

2011 to 2012: loan at Crotone in Serie B, then back to Roma.
2012 to 2020: Roma first-team player after returning from Crotone, captain from 2019 as Wikipedia records it; he stayed under contract with Roma until 2022 while on loan.
First half of 2020: loan at Valencia in Spain.
2020 to 2021: loan at Paris Saint-Germain, where he won the Coupe de France and the Trophée des Champions.
2021 to 2022: loan at AC Milan, ending with Milan's 2021-22 Serie A title, his first.
2022 to 2025: permanent move to Milan, winning the 2024-25 Supercoppa Italiana.
27 August 2025: retirement announced on Instagram, two months after his Milan contract expired on 30 June 2025 (AGI).

Italy and Euro 2020

Florenzi debuted for Italy in November 2012 and finished with 49 caps and two goals, against Armenia in 2013 and Norway in 2015, according to English Wikipedia. He played at Euro 2016 and won Euro 2020. He started the opening 3-0 win over Turkey but came off at half-time with a calf injury that kept him out of the following games, then came on as a substitute in the final, which Italy won on penalties against England at Wembley after a 1-1 draw.

Injuries

Injuries shaped his career. He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in October 2016 and re-tore it in February 2017, missing months. He had meniscus operations in 2021 and 2022, and in July 2024 he ruptured a cruciate ligament in his right knee during a friendly against Manchester City, as Wikipedia lists. Italian press cited the injuries as a reason behind his decision to stop.

Florenzi since retiring

As of November 2026, Florenzi has no playing club and no announced coaching or club role. In a March 2026 interview with Corriere dello Sport he said coaching must be hard and that he could not yet say whether he would become a director, although he would like to work with players and help them. In September 2026 he appeared as a studio guest on Sky Sport in Italy to discuss Serie A and the Champions League. If he takes on a formal role, this page will be updated.
