As Piccioni was the son of the then Italian foreign minister, a leading Christian Democrat politician, the Montesi affair kept the media occupied for many years, providing much political fuel for the Italian left.
Piccioni, who also used the pseudonym Piero Morgan, was born in Turin, and began his career as a radio pianist in 1938, played in a jazz orchestra in the early 1940s and, after the war, started his own jazz group, becoming popular in Roman night clubs.
Valli and Piccioni became close friends, and she gave him an alibi for the day that Montesi was presumed to have died in April 1954, saying he had been with her at the home of the film producer Carlo Ponti.
