Dell'Olio was born in New York in 1961[1], where her mother Antonia was born and her immigrant father ran a series of delicatessens. The eldest of four children, at the age of five her family moved back to Italy, to the the town of Bisceglie in the Province of Barletta-Andria-Trani.[2][3]
Projects
In 2005, Dell'Olio hosted the show Footballers' Cribs on MTV. She gave viewers tours of the luxury homes of English football players. "Nancy is a dream signing for us," said series executive producer Sean Murphy. "She's the first lady of football, so is in the perfect position to give us a real insider's view."[4]
In June 2007, Dell'Olio had an autobiography published titled My Beautiful Game.[5]
In December 2008, Dell'Olio was interviewed on the BBC news analysis programme Newsnight, but, according to interviewer Jeremy Paxman, no one could understand what she said.[6]
On 6 September 2011, it was announced that Dell'Olio would take part in the 2011 series of Strictly Come Dancing.[7]
Charity works
Dell'Olio has visited British Red Cross projects in the UK and in Kenya. She stated, "I have always been a great admirer of the principles and values behind the work of the Red Cross. The thing that really impressed me is that the Red Cross seems to go everywhere, more than any other charity."[8]
Dell'Olio is the chairwoman of Truce International, the British-based charity she founded with Eriksson, which aims to use football as a means of uniting people in areas affected by war.[9]
Dell'Olio is a member of the Accademia Apulia UK.[10]
Personal life
In May 1998, Dell'Olio was introduced to Sven-Goran Eriksson, the manager of the Lazio football team, and they began an relationship six months later. In 2001, Eriksson became manager of the England team, and he and Dell'Olio relocated to London. In early 2002, Eriksson had a short-lived affair with television presenter Ulrika Jonsson, but he returned to Dell'Olio.
