When speaking to Vanity Fair, Satta talked about how she met Berrettini. “In Miami, at a dinner with mutual friends, she said. “We talked to each other, we exchanged phone numbers and from there we started talking. The next day we were both leaving, my life is in Milan, he lives in Montecarlo.” Satta went on to say the two had “a thousand chats on WhatsApp. Which never ended. I’ve met people at dinner and exchanged numbers, but often it ends as it began. Not with Matteo: if we are still here it is because then we managed to meet… In various cities.”
