Al Pacino was spotted enjoying a lively evening in Rome, where he dined at the restaurant Il Bolognese and received a friendly kiss from Italian journalist Caterina Di Terlizzi. The 85-year-old film legend appeared to be in great spirits, grinning widely as the younger journalist, who is several decades his junior, affectionately greeted him. The moment came during Pacino’s visit to Italy to work on his latest project, the biopic “Maserati: The Brothers.”
The pair shared laughs and smiles at their table, with Di Terlizzi wrapping her arm around Pacino at one point before planting a kiss on his cheek. After the kiss, the Academy Award-winning actor reciprocated with a warm hug. Pacino sported a casual look, donning an all-black ensemble that included a shirt, jacket, and baggy sweatpants, completing the outfit with reflective aviator sunglasses and a black baseball cap reminiscent of his friend Leonardo DiCaprio’s style.
Di Terlizzi, who has been freelancing for NBC News since completing her master’s degree in Journalism and Multimedia Communication in 2023, seemed to enjoy her time alongside the Hollywood icon. The evening also featured Pacino revealing his quirky Shrek phone case, a humorous detail that has entertained fans in recent years.
This cheerful outing follows Pacino’s recent journey into fatherhood, as he welcomed his fourth child, son Roman, with ex-girlfriend Noor Alfallah in June 2023. Their relationship ended in October 2024, but they continue to co-parent amicably. Pacino also has three other children: a daughter named Julie, aged 35, with actress Jan Tarrant, and fraternal twins aged 24 with his former partner Beverly D’Angelo.
Notably, Pacino’s experiences with younger partners have garnered public attention, especially given the age dynamics, yet his ability to connect with younger generations—both personally and professionally—continues to demonstrate his enduring relevance in the film industry.
This charming encounter highlights not just Pacino’s vibrant personality but also the connections forged within the world of cinema, reminding fans that age is just a number when it comes to friendship and creative collaboration.
