The first hearing of the trial of Pamela Perricciolo and Eliana Michelazzo was held yesterday in Rome, the two former agents of Pamela Prati accused of impersonation for having created Mark Caltagirone , a non-existent character who was talked about far and wide between 2018 and 2019.
It all began in 2018, when the two agents introduce the "farce" character to the Sardinian showgirl. Prati participates in television shows and lets herself be interviewed by the magazines, in December she announces that she is ready to marry him .
But at the same time the first doubts arise about the existence of the entrepreneur, who also has a foster son named Sebastian. Perplexities that increase over time until, in May 2019, Pamela Prati in tears to Verissimo admits that Caltagirone does not exist . And she claims to have been deceived by the two agents, who allegedly invented the existence of the man to unleash media hype and earn from the TV hosts and the interviews of their client .
According to the indictment, Pamela Perricciolo and Eliana Michelazzo passed off another person, Marco Di Carlo , as Mark Caltagirone. Using images taken from the man's social profiles. It doesn't end there: the two agents of Aicos Management would also have used the images of Simone, a minor at the time, to interpret the character of Sebastian, son of Caltagirone .
Di Carlo filed a complaint: "I met Pamela Prati some time ago but I've never met her," he said. Subsequently, Simone's mother also reported, who met the two agents in 2012, they were clients of the hairdresser she worked for. Hence the process was born.
The woman's son was convinced to play the son of Caltagirone for a fiction that never existed: « What we thought was a script was actually the material used to create the fake foster child in the case of Mrs. Pamela Prati and her boyfriend Mark Caltagirone », said the mother of the minor, who saw the photo of her son passed off as another person directly on TV.
Yesterday, in the first hearing, the public prosecutor detailed the accusation, saying that " everything happened to give a face to Mrs. Prati's alleged promised husband and confirm a hardly credible story ".
It's up to the judge to decide whether the two agents are to be convicted, Perricciolo has asked for custody from social services.
