Luca looked equally dapper as he opted for a simple look consisting of black pants, a white t-shirt and a black jacket.
The couple appeared in good spirits as they attended the opening of ‘Addicted To Love’, a joint exhibition by Sara Pope and Eve De Haans, at Quantus Gallery in London.

Patsy’s exit comes after it was revealed she had an unlikely connection to cult gangster film Goodfellas11691633, as her model daughter is dating the late actor’s stepson Ray Liotta.
The EastEnders favorite has given the relationship between Emilia Merkell, 21, and Chazz Nittolo, 22, its full blessing and describes the young actor as “gorgeous and talented”.
Chazz is the son of Jacy Nittolo, 48, who was engaged to Ray, famous for playing Henry Hill in the Martin Scorsese-directed 1990 film alongside Robert Di Nero and Joe Pesci, until his death the year last.
The couple have been dating for more than two years and Emelia has documented her love for Chazz, who former soap star Patsy considers part of the family, on social media while her mother competed in the ice skating series .
A source told MailOnline: ‘Patsy loves Chazz and thinks the relationship between him and Emilia is lovely.

“They are a big influence on each other and support each other a lot in their respective careers.”
Patsy and her husband Richard Merkall moved to Hollywood in 2004 with Emilia, along with her brothers Fenton, 22, and Bertie, 12.
She also has a son Charley Palmer Rothwell, 30, who is based in the UK near former partner Alfie Rothwell, but he visits her home in Malibu frequently.
The actress, who has reshaped her life since moving to the United States, relocated after leaving EastEnders and has since forged a career as a DJ at local hotpots, as well as promoting her wellness page on Instagram, called Good and Proper.

“There are no words to properly describe what one goes through with this type of unexpected loss. I miss every second of every day.

She ended her caption with, “It feels like we’re one big blended family that was predestined beyond our wildest imaginations.”
Patsy commented on the Instagram post, writing, “Send some love from us.”
Chazz is the son of Jacy Nittolo, who was engaged to Ray, famous for playing Henry Hill in the Martin Scorsese-directed 1990 film alongside Robert Di Nero and Joe Pesci, until his death last year.
