Tg1 Anchor Giorgia Cardinaletti Marries Journalist Francesco Bechis in Fabriano

Giorgia Cardinaletti and Francesco Bechis married on October 10, 2026, in Fabriano, bringing together figures from television, journalism, sports, and music for a ceremony that ilrestodelcarlino.it reported as one of the most anticipated social events of the year in Italy’s Marche region. The Tg1 anchor and Il Messaggero parliamentary reporter exchanged vows at 16:13 after arriving separately at the church in the bride’s hometown, stepping away from careers usually spent covering national politics and news.

The Ceremony and Guests in Fabriano

Cardinaletti walked out accompanied by her brothers at 16:13, wearing a simple smooth dress without lace, no veil, and a bouquet of white roses. Bechis arrived half an hour early for the ceremony, wearing a blue suit. The couple exchanged promises amid applause from family, friends, and invited guests filling the pews in Fabriano. Among those seated in the front rows were alpine skier Sofia Goggia and singer-songwriter Niccolò Fabi, alongside various colleagues and journalists from Rai.

The Historic Reception Venue

Following the exchange of vows, the celebration moved to the Hotel Relais Marchese del Grillo. The location is a historic 18th-century residence situated in the Rocchetta locality of the Ancona hinterland. The venue choice brought guests to a landmark historically tied to Italian cinema while remaining close to the bride’s roots in Fabriano.

Professional Backgrounds Behind the Private Romance

Cardinaletti, 39, trained at the Perugia School of Journalism and worked at Il Resto del Carlino’s Ancona newsroom before moving to Rai. Her broadcasting career includes work on Rai News 24, reporting on Formula 1 as a pit lane correspondent, and hosting sports programs such as La Domenica Sportiva ahead of her current role as a main anchor for Tg1. Bechis, eight years younger, works as a political and economic reporter for Il Messaggero and is the son of journalist Franco Bechis. The pair maintained a private relationship for years, keeping details out of the spotlight until initial media reports confirmed their bond.
