Mangione, a Towson native, graduated as valedictorian from the prestigious Gilman School in Baltimore.
His grandfather, Nicholas Mangione, was a powerful real estate developer and co-founder of Lorien Health Services, a company operating nearly a dozen assisted-living facilities across Maryland.
Luigi’s father, Louis, later took over the company’s operations, further cementing the family’s reputation in the state’s business community.
Beyond Lorien Health Services, the Mangione family’s investments reportedly include a local radio station, Turf Valley Resort in Ellicott City, MD, and Hayfields Country Club in Hunt Valley, MD.
Mary Mangione, Nicholas’s wife and Luigi's grandmother, was described in family blog posts as the manager of their home and the "busy lives of their family," helping to support the expanding family enterprise.
Their connections extend beyond business. Luigi’s cousin, Nino Mangione, serves as a Republican member of the Maryland House of Delegates, while his sisters have made names for themselves in medicine and the arts.
MariaSanta Mangione is a respected physician, and Luciana Mangione is a renowned artist who has hosted exhibitions throughout Maryland.
Following Luigi’s arrest, both sisters deleted or privatized their social media accounts, distancing themselves from the growing attention. Luigi’s mother, Kathleen Zannino Mangione, owns a boutique travel company, according to reports from the DailyMail.
As news of Luigi’s alleged involvement in Thompson’s death spread, the Mangione family released a brief statement expressing their devastation:
“Unfortunately, we cannot comment on news reports regarding Luigi Mangione. We only know what we have read in the media. Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest. We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and ask people to pray for all involved.”
