Mattia Binotto Children: Meet Chiara Binotto, Marco Binotto
Throughout their mysterious marriage years, the Binotto couple welcomed two kids, Marco Binotto and Chiara Binotto.
Furthermore, Mattia and Sabina Binotto welcomed their first child, a son, and named him Marco Binotto. Unfortunately, the Binotto pair remains tight-lipped about their only son, Marco.
However, Forbes in 2019 revealed that Mattia Binotto’s son is currently studying at university and must have a comfortable lifestyle away from media scrutiny. Similarly, Sabina Binotto’s daughter, Chiara Binotto, also maintains a private life and is probably a high school student.
Both the Binotto kids could have adopted an interest in their father’s love for cars and engines. As one could always get excited at the sound of an engine revving up, we might see both Sabina and Mattia Binotto’s children either building or driving a supercar shortly.
