- Mother of Asia Argento. Grandmother of Anna Lou Castoldi and Nicola Giovanni Civetta (Asia's children).
- During her relationship with sculptor Mario Ceroli (1971-1974) they had a daughter named Anna (born 1973). Anna died in an accident in 1994. Daria's other daughter, Asia Argento, named her daughter Anna Lou in her memory.
- Has a minor role in every installment of former partner Dario Argento's "Three Mothers" trilogy. Most notably, she provided the voice of Mater Suspiriarum in Suspiria (1977) and played one of that character's victims in Mother of Tears (2007).
- Her maternal grandfather was Alfredo Casella, from Turin, who was a famous Italian composer, pianist, and conductor. Her maternal grandmother, Yvonne (Müller Loeb), a pianist, was a Jewish emigrant from Paris, France.
- Long-term partner was Dario Argento. They were never married, though this has been reported in several sources.
- I wrote Suspiria (1977) for Dario Argento; title, subject and script. The inspiration came from a tale my grandmother, Yvonne, used to tell me when I was a child, after an experience she had in a northern acting academy where she discovered the teachers were teaching arts, but also black magic. I was fond of this story of hers more than Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, and when I told it to Dario it was natural for him to fall in love with it too. It was his first step from thrillers to fantasy-alchemy movies and we did it together. [an interview with Christian Sellers of GoreZone Magazine UK]
