Martin Scorsese’s Marriages and Romances: Archival Photos and Verified Records
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
In September 1979, Scorsese married international model and actress Isabella Rossellini, daughter of cinematic royalty Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman. The wedding took place in the picturesque village of Bracciano, Italy, capturing global press attention. For Scorsese, the union was both an emotional commitment and a profound intellectual connection to European cinematic history.
Their union coincided with the grueling production and release of Raging Bull (1980) and The King of Comedy (1982). While public appearances across Rome, Paris, and New York projected glamour, their schedules proved unmanageable. Rossellini’s booming global modeling career with Lancôme required relentless international travel, while Scorsese remained rooted in grueling edit suites. The couple separated and finalized their divorce in 1983. Unlike his prior split, the parting remained amicable, with Rossellini frequently speaking warmly in retrospectives about their shared cinephilic passions.
