Lorenzo Russio’s family tree -
“Absolutely no one can screw you over quite as well as your family members.”
Alfonso Russio (50)- Stefano Acoorsi
To say that Lorenzo and his father’s relationship is complicated is an understatement. The man has barely been in his life since he went off to marry his new wife, though he likes to present himself to the business world as a wonderful family man, Lorenzo will always state otherwise. While Lorenzo has always held contempt for his mother, he definitely holds blind hatred for his father; perhaps the only person in this world who can truly get a rise out of Lorenzo, daddy issue’s doesn’t even begin to describe the relationship Lorenzo has with Alfonso.
Lea Bianchi (38)- Mariska Hartigay
Lorenzo’s mother had him young, perhaps too young to fully understand how exactly to care and raise a child but she was enamored with Alfonso who presented himself as the perfect gentlemen. Once Lorenzo’s father left the family to marry someone younger, Lea began seeking out comfort in the form of Valium and champagne, spending days at a time in bed or sending herself to luxury spas for weeks at time, Lorenzo practically raised himself, though when Lea does make an appearance, she tries her best to be a good mother but having Lorenzo so young and having that disconnect from him; that intimate motherly connection was never there. When Lorenzo was younger, he wanted nothing more than to have his mother’s love yet as he got older he held nothing but contempt for the woman who opted out on raising him and spending time indulging her on whims and self-pity.
Luca Russio (20) - Robert Gorrie
Lorenzo’s older half-brother (his father’s son but not his mother’s), Luca and Lorenzo have always held a complicated relationship. Luca sparking that competitive streak inside Lorenzo from an early age, whatever Lorenzo had; Luca had to take it and that transferred to females as they got older, everything has always been a game for Luca and tormenting his brother is one of his favorite past times. One of the few reasons that Lorenzo was excited about attending Carnifex was finally getting away from his older brother.
