Pia had a very close relationship with her father, Vinny, and he has firmly supported her throughout her career.
When she released her 2023 memoir, Finding My Bella Vita, Vinny was overjoyed.
“He got really emotional when I sent him the first chapter because it was all about his mum and dad,” she exclusively told New Idea at the time.
“I tried to be really honest about the human experience that I had [in the memoir], and about all the rejection and confidence crisis I’ve had at certain points in my life.”
