Al Pacino got a tender kiss from much-younger Italian journalist Caterina Di Terlizzi during a dinner in Rome.
The “Godfather” actor, 85, was photographed dining with a group at Il Bolognese in Piazza del Popolo on Monday while dressed in head-to-toe black with a baseball cap.
Paparazzi snapped Di Terlizzi leaning in to give Pacino an affectionate peck on the cheek — which he returned with a warm hug.
Other snapshots showed the journalist, who wore a black spaghetti strap tank top, listening intently as she chatted with the “Scarface” actor.
She was also photographed puffing on a cigarette during the evening out.
At one point, Pacino was seen checking his phone, which was protected by a “Shrek”-themed case. He donned reflective aviator shades when leaving the dinner.
The actor has been in Rome filming “Maserati: The Brothers,” which is set for release in October.
Di Terlizzi, who describes herself via LinkedIn as a “world traveller based in Italy,” currently works as a freelance journalist for NBC News.
Her exact age is unclear, though she apparently completed an internship in communication and media in 2020 and earned her master’s degree from Luis Guido Carli University in 2023.
Pacino, meanwhile, welcomed son Roman with Noor Alfallah, 31, in June 2023.
Though Alfallah filed for full custody of their child that September, Pacino’s rep confirmed to Page Six at the time that they were “still together.”
“Al and Noor have successfully worked together and have mutually reached agreements regarding their child,” a spokesperson said.
But by October, the relationship had seemingly ended.
“Al and Noor are very good friends, have been for years, and are co-parents to their son Roman,” the actor’s rep confirmed to People in October 2023 — following reports that Alfallah had been on “several” dates with Bill Maher.
That same month, the co-parents settled their custody battle, with Pacino being ordered to pay Alfallah $30,000 per month in child support. The former couple has joint legal custody, though Alfallah maintains primary physical custody.
The exes were subsequently photographed stepping out together for an exclusive American Cinematheque screening of the actor’s 1973 film “Serpico” in Santa Monica, Calif., in December 2024.
