Mariska Hargitay supported by husband Peter Hermann as they step out for momentous night on Italian getaway
Mariska Hargitay, renowned for her role as Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU, recently enjoyed a prestigious summer getaway in Italy that transcended mere luxury.
Fresh from a visit to Japan with her husband Peter Hermann, Mariska found herself on the opposite coast of Rome at the Flaiano Film Festival in Pescara, Italy. The festival bestowed upon her the honor of guest of honor, an accolade she cherished deeply.
Taking to Instagram over the weekend, Mariska shared a series of heartwarming photos commemorating the occasion. In one striking image, she posed elegantly in a black floral gown against a backdrop featuring her as Olivia Benson on the festival billboard. Another captured the intimate moment at the event with her supportive husband Peter by her side, while a third showed her overwhelmed with gratitude.
“Grazie mille Pescara! Grazie mille @premi_internazionali_flaiano!” Mariska expressed in her caption, conveying her immense gratitude. “I’m so grateful to be welcomed into this extraordinary community of artists,” she added, concluding with a poignant reflection: “What an honor to celebrate with you the healing art of telling stories.”
The post drew an outpouring of congratulations from fans and celebrity friends alike. Ali Wentworth, her longtime best friend and author, joined in with a warm “Ciao ciao,” while others praised Mariska’s dedication to portraying Olivia Benson and telling impactful stories.
This year has been monumental for Mariska, not only for this latest honor but also for celebrating the milestone 25th season of Law & Order: SVU. Her portrayal of Olivia Benson, spanning over 500 episodes, now holds the distinction of being the longest-running character in primetime drama television history.
Reflecting on the show’s enduring legacy during a recent interview with People, Mariska shared her disbelief and gratitude for the show’s longevity. “One is I can’t believe it’s been 25 years, a quarter of a century!” she remarked. “And the other is, I can’t see it any other way.”
Mariska’s journey with Law & Order: SVU began in 1999, where she not only found professional success but also love. On set in 2001, she met Peter Hermann, who guest starred as defense attorney Trevor Langan. Their connection blossomed into a lasting partnership, adding another layer of significance to her remarkable journey with the beloved series.
As Mariska continues to evolve and thrive, she remains committed to her multifaceted role on and off the screen, embodying resilience and dedication that resonate far beyond television.
