The court ruled that Lollobrigida must have a guardian. Angry actress defends herself – PRAVDA.sk

The Italian Court of Cassation confirmed last Friday that the famous Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida must have a guardian.

This is to help her, for example, with asset management. The court thus complied with the request of the famous artist’s son and upheld the decision of the lower court, the Italian media reported. The actress herself, who celebrated 94 years in July, does not agree with the court’s decision.

The court ruled out that the actress suffered from a serious mental illness. However, according to experts, her perception of reality is weakened, which makes a woman an easy target for fraudsters. The actress, through her lawyer, bequeathed that she was embittered by the verdict and will continue to defend against it. According to her, the court’s decision is “very unfair” and “damages its dignity”.

Attorney Filippo Maria Meschini said that due to the covid-19 pandemic, Lollobrigida did not leave the house where she was painting.

The actress’ son Andrea Milko Skofic has been seeking the appointment of a guardian since 2017, because he believes that his mother is not quite able to manage her property. She claims that her close associates use a woman’s mental state to get rich at her expense.

In mid-September, the court decided to open proceedings against Andre Piazzola, director of the company that managed the actress’ assets, and another man. According to the accusation, parts of the jewelery, furniture and works of art that belonged to Lollobrigide were to be seized for sale at auction. The sale ultimately failed due to the intervention of the judiciary. Lollobrigida herself defends her assistant Piazzolo, claiming that her loved ones have decided to “let her die indecently”.
