One year, while her husband was manic, he spent all their Christmas money. Lucia saved up and bought one present to surprise her children with, a pair of roller skates.

===Move to the United States===
When her children were still young, Lucia and her husband, Vincenzo, decided to divorce. Lucia wanted to move to the United States for a fresh start.

==Notes and Trivia==
*She is the only character who was seen on Meredith's beach who did not make any previous appearance on the show.
*According to Maggie Pierce in Undo, DeLuca's mother was "probably at work" during his assault and that she knows her. This is a major storyline inconsistency. Showrunner Krista Vernoff eventually addressed the discrepancy in a tweet saying they had simply forgotten and suggested it be amended as Maggie knowing his stepmother.https://twitter.com/KristaVernoff/status/1103513771807395841?s=20
