About Me

Hi, my name is Riva. I was named after Italian yachts made of wood. In Italian, 'Riva' is where the water meets the land. I’m an artist and a theater creator. You’ve also probably heard my voice on TV. I believe there is not one path, only YOUR path, and it is your job to wander it with reverence.

❤️ 14 amazing years with this one ❤️ Thank you to our family for taking care of the Byrd so we could have this adorably romantic day trip to Modica- a beautiful baroque town nestled in the mountains, famous for its chocolate-making :) #weatesomuchchocolate!!

Thank you for capturing this moment @gfusillolombardi! My Nonna would be very proud ☺️😂

A little taste of heaven; surrounded by olive groves and almond orchards, serenaded by a herd of goats in the valley below us as they complain to their shepherd and a rooster in the distance alarming us of the day, deep in the Sicilian countryside in a beautiful century old refurbished farmhouse.

The Sicilian countryside ❤️ no filter needed

Happy Father’s Day to all of the amazing dads out there ❤️

JV's grandmother passed away suddenly this week. It’s a huge loss for our entire family. The bond JV and his Nonna shared was like nothing I’d ever seen before. There were only 2 photos in her bedroom, one of Jesus, and one of John Vincent. When we moved to New York she pinned a photo of him inside her shirt and wore it everyday so he would always be near her. They were hilarious to watch together, he would razz her and she would dish it right back at him, so quick, so sharp, so funny. She cared for all of us so much, I’ll never forget when I was admitted into the hospital, pregnant with Byrdie, Nonna sent her caregiver down to the hospital, up to my room, to sit and pray over my stomach. Her and I connected over our love of animals and my little kitty miche made it into a picture frame on the wall YEARS before I ever did. I quickly learned to stay quiet during hockey games and basketball games and I’ll always remember the day she bullied me into revealing my secret family recipe for meatballs. Recently, Nonna gave Byrdie a letter that in part read, “I have a special thank you for letting me live long enough to meet you”. We’ll love you forever, Nonna. I’ll never let Byrdie forget you.

“It’s all good, baby baby” She’s our #biggiesmalls
