Sangiuliano calls Ranucci, A. Meloni and Giuli to give evidence at the trial against Maria Rosaria Boccia
The former minister’s defence team has requested that the hearings take place behind closed doors. Boccia had previously said of the former presenter of Report at Il Foglio: “He’s part of my inner circle”; now he also refers to him as Sangiuliano. In the proceedings, the minister’s former colleague and lover is accused of stalking and causing bodily harm.

She, Maria Rosaria Boccia, told Il Foglio: “Sigfrido? He’s in my magic circle.” Gennaro Sangiuliano, the former Minister for Culture who was forced to resign due to his inappropriate relationship with Ms Boccia, is now calling Ranucci as a witness in the trial against her for stalking and assault. The former presenter of Report thus finds himself the third wheel, although, it must be said, he is in good company.
In addition to Ranucci, Sangiuliano’s defence team has also called as witnesses the leader of FdI and the Prime Minister’s sister, Arianna Meloni, the Minister for Culture, Alessandro Giuli, and the CEO of Rai, Giampaolo Rossi. The former minister’s lawyers have already announced that they will request the hearings be held behind closed doors. In short, a scandal that began on social media and in the press seems set, at least this time, to remain out of the reach of reporters’ notebooks and photographers. Meanwhile, the high-profile witnesses have no choice but to wait to be called, and to find out in what capacity.
