Livia Giuggioli (born September 4, 1969 in Rome, Italy)[1] is an Italian film producer.

Giuggioli moved from Italy to the UK in 1996.[2] She has been married to British actor Colin Firth since 1997. They met in Colombia where they were both working on the mini-series Nostromo.

The couple have two sons, Luca (born 2001) and Matteo (born 2003). She also has a stepson William Joseph (born 1990) from her husband's previous relationship.

In 2007, she produced the documentary In Prison My Whole Life about the life of former Black Panther member, Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Giuggioli is creative director of the Eco Age shop in London (co-founded with her brother Nicola)[3] and of the website Brightwide, which she and Firth launched in October 2009 at the London Film Festival.[4][5]

She uses her profile as Firth's wife to promote ethical and green fashion, from recycled clothes to designers such as Stella McCartney.[6]
