“Mother Fernanda left this life, a life lived with incredible intensity and energy,” her son Marco told the Italian daily Corriere della Seraconfirming the sad news. Mom had great joys and great sorrows, she was a woman who grew up in times of war, she was capable of facing life and its thorns with courage… She leaves us all with her example and memories that we will never forget.”

She kept the principality in her heart

Her assertive temperament and resilience – in addition to Stefano, she lost another son, Daniele, in 2016 and her husband, Giancarlo, in 1998 – were unanimous among her family. And beyond! Not to mention his sense of family. As her son recalls, Fernanda Biffi Casiraghi had gotten into the habit of bringing together, at least once a year, all her loved ones living in the four corners of the world.

If she had returned to her native Italy after living in Monaco, the grandmother of Andrea, Charlotte and Pierre retained a particular affection for the principality where she never failed to return when the opportunity arose. Like the civil marriage of Pierre and Beatrice Casiraghi, in July 2015. Despite the bad weather, a large crowd wanted to pay a final tribute to the one who will remain, in the words of her son, “a reference, a true matriarch”, proof of the strong emotion that her disappearance aroused.
