Gina Lollobrigida’s will has been opened. The diva, who died on January 16, left half of her inheritance (which would amount to 10 million euros) to her son Andrea Milko Skofic and her assistant Andrea Piazzolla, the man who has always been with her for the last 13 years of her life as well against the wishes of the family. “I still haven’t realized what happened to me. Whenever I hear about wills, I get sick too. She didn’t want to leave her son anything and she carried out this plan. Gina always said “what’s left when it’s zero is zero”. She didn’t want to leave Milko, she always said openly to everyone. She was behind the auction, she wanted to sell her things. The diva factotum returns to talk about the will on TV and this morning he does it on Storie Italiane.

Gina Lollobrigida, half of the fortune to Piazzolla
Piazzolla, who is accused of bypassing an incompetent person and auctioning off Lollo’s fortune, continues to vociferously defend himself: “He was in perfect shape. There is a lot of evidence that I did not bypass it, I will take it to court. I have nothing to do with that or Gina’s will. It was important for Gina to preserve the artworks, the structures, the photographs… They are out of the will”.

The truth about auctions
The assistant tells Storie Italiane the truth about auctions: «Mrs. Lollobrigida felt like doing things, she saw an intrusiveness in her private life. I’m calm and relaxed, I haven’t bought anything from Gina. There were around 150 items up for auction while 2-3,000 were in storage. She didn’t want to sell everything together, but wanted to get rid of it little by little so as not to leave her son anything. The auction catalog reported on Ms Lollobrigida’s will that when she was heard by the prosecutor, she didn’t feel like saying her things.”

The lawyer: the confession
But today the diva’s lawyer, Ingroia, also gets involved in the Rai show and provides viewers with a detail that has never been revealed: “Gina asked me how she could disinherit her son, I replied that Italian law didn’t do that provided a decision, so she complied with the law”. This law states that in the absence of a will, the direct heirs are entitled to 100% of the property, whereas in the case of a will, only 50%, while the other 50% can be disposed of as one wishes” . .
Gina Lollobrigida, Andrea Piazzolla’s assistant, remembers the diva’s last days: “After a CT scan, she had a kidney blockage. I wanted to donate her a kidney”
In fact, Gina would not have wanted to give her son anything, as her lawyer confirmed, to the point that she would have tried several times in her life to get rid of her possessions, especially her works of art, which she was very attached to. “One of her greatest fears was that the child support administrator her son had placed on her could take possession of her assets himself. Gina left Andrea Piazzolla 50% in her will, which she could dispose of. It’s 100% of what they had available. The law gave Milko 50%. 50% of the whole goes to Milko, not 50% of the 50% that Lollobrigida had available»».
Ingroia thus confirms Piazzolla’s words to Storie Italiane: Lollobrigida wanted to auction everything so as not to leave anything to her son Mirko. “That was the relationship between mother and son, especially after Milko sided with Rigau and applied for the ban, which was later converted into a support administration. Even the cardiologist reiterated that Gina didn’t want to leave her son anything. I judge the facts, I’m not Piazzolla’s defender, but that’s the reality.”
Son’s lawyer: “Piazzolla is still facing charges of circumventing legal incapacity”
“As long as Ms. Lollobrigida’s assets are under preventive seizure, Mr. Piazzolla cannot dispose of them.” Thus, Adnkrono’s lawyer Michele Gentiloni Silveri, lawyer for Milko and Dimitri Skofic, appears in court shortly after the preliminary hearing in which the fact of the Bersagliera Andrea Piazzolla is charged with circumventing an incompetent person, “because he donated art to an auction house – explains lawyer – a number of buildings belonging to Mrs. Lollobrigida, furniture that she could not have given because they were awaiting an inventory by the support administration” “According to the public prosecutor – Gentiloni continues – these properties would have been handed over to the auction house without Ms Lollobrigida’s knowledge.” Paradoxically, Piazzola’s defense rejected D ocuments, but the judge dismissed the appeal and accepted those statements, and the trial was adjourned to June and will begin with defense witnesses.”
«Today the hearing was intended for Mrs. Lollobrigida, who unfortunately passed away – continues Bersagliera’s son’s lawyer – so the prosecutor handed over to the judge what he had already collected during the investigation. From our point of view, Lollobrigida’s statements are fundamental, because during the interrogation she said: “For God’s sake, I didn’t want to give anything to the auction house. I was told that these properties were placed in a warehouse to create jobs.” and that they would come back.’ The lawyer does not want to say too much about the actress’ will: “It’s about civil law. The family will not make any statements clarifying the situation until after the trial.” According to the indictment, Gentiloni explains: “Piazzola isolated Ms Lollobrigida from her loved ones and then caused her to take adverse action, if this turns out to be true and Piazzolla should be convicted – the lawyer concludes – they would have done so to compensate a substantial sum “.
