In 1929, Luciano met Gay Orlova, a featured Dancer in one of Broadway's leading nightclubs, Hollywood. They were inseparable until he went to prison, but were never married. In early 1948, he met Igea Lissoni, a Milanese ballerina 20 years his junior, whom he later described as the love of his life. In the summer, Lissoni moved in with him. Although some reports said the couple married in 1949, others state that they only exchanged rings. Luciano and Lissoni lived together in Luciano's house in Naples. He continued to have affairs with other women, causing many arguments between him and Lissoni. During these arguments, Luciano would sometimes physically strike her. In 1959, Lissoni died of breast cancer.
