The news of the death of Lorenzo Carriera, the son of singer and actress Matoula, who passed away at the age of just 51, is deeply saddening.
Lorenzo Carriera, the husband of Elena Katrava and father of two teenage boys, had reportedly been facing a serious health problem recently.
In the 2000s, the singer was one of the most recognizable faces, having appeared on MEGA’s reality show *Bar*, and he was also a member of the band «Friends Forever,» which he had formed with his teammate Giorgos Eleftheras.
The 51-year-old man was of Italian descent on his father's side; his father's name was Roberto Carrere.
His Relationship with Matoula's Mother
Lorenzo Carriera's mother was the well-known actress and singer Matoula, whose real name was Diamanto Koutroulou; she was one of the most eccentric figures in Greek show business.
In 1974, she married businessman Roberto Carrère, and a year later they had a son, Lorenzo. Their marriage did not last, and Roberto Carrere later started a new family with Marialena Oikonomidou, with whom he had two children.
He passed away in 2015 at the age of 70. It had been reported from time to time that Lorenzo’s relationship with his mother had gone through periods of tension and estrangement, a fact that had been widely covered by the media.
The 51-year-old’s mother, Matoula, spoke in a television interview shortly before her death about her life, her career in music and film, the difficulties she faced, and even the time she spent in prison, revealing that it was there that she managed to overcome her drug addiction.
