«I wanted to help Giulia, make her understand what was happening, give her something concrete» .

This was said by the 23-year-old Italian-English woman with whom Alessandro Impagnatiello had a parallel relationship , testifying protected by a screen in the trial of the former barman accused of killing his girlfriend Giulia Tramontano, who was seven months pregnant, with 37 stab wounds last May 27th in Senago.

The girl, crying several times during the deposition while the accused was in the cage with his head down , revealed all the deceptions and the castle of lies built by Impagnatiello with both women.

Regarding the child who was expecting Giulia « from the beginning he said that he was not the father and that he had taken the DNA test. He even showed it to me at my request and I believed him, but then I found out that he had faked it . He lent me his tablet and there I found the test, I saw his search history and I found the images to create the document."

However, the girl decided not to say anything "to gather more evidence and not allow him to continue lying".

She was also expecting a child from Impagnatiello and decided to have an abortion . When the prosecutor asked her about the pregnancy she was moved and needed a few seconds to respond: " I decided to have an abortion, because I wasn't well, and for this reason I However, I still suffer from it ."

The 23-year-old left when she met Impagnatiello in June 2022 at the Armani hotel in Milan, they were colleagues, he was a barman and she was a waitress. The relationship began in September and, step by step, the girl rebuilt everything until that evening of May 27 when Impagnatiello, who had already killed Giulia, tried to enter her house . She didn't open the door for him and spoke to him through the window.

" I was afraid of him and I was worried about Giulia, I saw him very agitated ." According to the Carabinieri's investigations, the 30-year-old could have killed her too that evening, given that the girl had collected "evidence of his deceptions".

In the most delicate passages, the 23-year-old asked to be able to leave the courtroom and in the second part of the deposition she agreed to have the screen placed to protect her be removed, looking in the face of the former barman who always remained with his head bowed in the cage .

The witness also explained that "from 8.30pm on May 27th", the day of the murder which occurred around 6pm, "it was no longer Giulia who responded to me in those messages, they were very cold messages" . The barman would have started answering in Giulia's place with his girlfriend's phone.

Then that evening, he "answered me on the third call and told me that Giulia was not at home but with a friend". Yet another lie .

Again: « Di Giulia told me that she was bipolar, that she wasn't well , that she wanted to harm herself, she told me that she was pregnant and he wasn't the father, that she had a DNA test, that she wanted to kill herself and that she had also learned from Giulia's sister that she wanted to kill herself. All lies, I knew it but I wanted to understand how far he wanted to go."

The 23-year-old contacted Giulia and the two met on May 27, the day of the murder . « When I called her she thanked me, I explained who I was and that I was in the same situation as her. She thanked me and said we should see each other. When he found out I had talked to her he got angry."

But by now the girl had decided: " I had to tell Giulia everything, I had had enough of her lies and she had to know ."

Before May 27th «I confronted him, I told him that I knew everything and I wanted to end the relationship, maybe it was May 24th or 25th. He told me that he wanted to talk to me about his situation and continued to deny it, saying that he was not the father of the child, even though I had discovered that the DNA test was false. He said he was no longer with Giulia ."

The meeting with Giulia on May 27: «We also proposed that he participate, but he didn't come. After that meeting Giulia told me that she would talk to him, while she and I were talking I remember that she told me about Impagnatiello, how he was at home and that he wanted to have power in the house, that what he said had to be done, she wasn't happy, she had spent months unhappy ."

Meanwhile, outside the courtroom, one of the defendant's lawyers, the lawyer Samanta Barbaglia, reiterated that the defense is considering asking the Court for "a psychiatric evaluation" and that Impagnatiello is "very distressed" and has unsuitable prison restrictions to his psychological state.

Impagnatiello raised his head only when a short film of the baby shower dedicated to little Thiago and recorded last March 17 was shown in the courtroom. She kept her eyes fixed on the video and started sobbing. In the video you could see Impagnatiello's family members all celebrating the future birth of the child together in their home in Senago, in the Milan area. Just over two months later, Giulia was killed with 37 stab wounds.
