Gibson isn't the Italian star's first Hollywood romance. In a May 2025 interview on the TV program Storie di donne al bivio, Salvucci revealed she once had a 'love at first sight' encounter with actor Sean Penn after they met in Los Angeles, as reported by news.com.au.
Gibson confirmed his split from partner Rosalind Ross in December 2025.
His European date comes following reports that the actor was left 'gutted' by the shock loss of his 'secret love' actress who perished on April 17 - days after a tragic swimming pool accident.
The Oscar-winning actor was rocked by the loss of his co-star Nadia Fares, four years after they starred together in 2022 thriller, On The Line.
On April 11, Fares, 57, was found unconscious in the swimming pool of a luxury gym in Paris and rushed to the hospital, where she was placed in a medically induced coma.
Six days later, she went into cardiac arrest and lost her life at the Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital, the same medical center where Princess Diana died.
Fares had also recently visited the director on the Rome set of The Resurrection of the Christ.
Meanwhile, Gibson and his longtime love Ross announced in December 2025 that they had quietly split a year prior. They share son, Lars, nine.
