Staller's stepfather forced her to marry him to avoid embarrassment. During the ceremony, the priest reportedly noticed that Staller was the saddest bride he had ever met. The couple lived in Milan, near the Central Station, in modest conditions. Her work as a model allowed her to divorce after a year of marriage.<ref>{{Cite web |date=25 February 2024 |title=Ilona Staller Cicciolina, chi è il primo marito e perché lei e Riccardo Schicchi si sono lasciati? |url=https://www.tag24.it/992606-ilona-staller-cicciolina-chi-e-il-primo-marito-e-perche-lei-e-riccardo-schicchi-si-sono-lasciati/ |access-date=31 March 2024 |website=Tag24 |language=it}}</ref>
