Life sentence for Alessandro Impagnatiello with 3 months of daytime isolation for the femicide of Giulia Tramontano. This is the first instance ruling. The woman’s family hugged each other and cried immediately after the court’s words read by President Antonella Bertoja. The man also loses parental rights for the child born from a previous relationship. The aggravating circumstance of futile reasons has fallen. The 31-year-old attended the reading of the verdict next to his lawyers, Giulia Geradini and Samanta Barbaglia, a few meters from Tramontano’s family.
The prosecutor’s office had requested a life sentence for Impagnatiello with daytime isolation for 18 months after having reconstructed in the indictment what he called a horror journey. There were thirteen hearings in ten months in the courtroom of the Court of Assizes of the Milan court, in which the day of the murder, 27 May 2023, was retraced, but also everything that had happened before and everything what came next. Giulia Tramontano was killed with 37 stab wounds delivered by her partner Alessandro Impagnatiello in the house where the two lived, in Senago. She was seven months pregnant. He had already tried to poison her with rat poison.
The aggravating circumstances of futile motives have been excluded, while those of premeditation, cruelty and the cohabitation relationship have been maintained. For the concealment of a corpse and the non-consensual termination of a pregnancy, a further 7 years of imprisonment were applied. He will have to repay 700 thousand euros to the Tramontano family. Their lawyer said that that of Giulia’s parents and brothers was a “consoling cry because, beyond the pain, when human justice prevails one feels more relieved, but for them it is not a victory. They were defeated when Giulia stopped living due to the sinister and evil responsibility of what was supposed to be her partner and the father of her child.” Chiara Tramontano spoke about her sister after the sentence. «She was rare: even in the moment in which her heart was destroyed she thought of another woman who might have experienced the same situation. It was present, but never loud. It was silent. When you are so sensitive in this violent world, you are prey for the lion. Giulia is all this, a kind soul.”
Impagnatiello confessed to the murder and was accused of voluntary homicide aggravated by premeditation, cruelty, frivolous motives and of having committed the crime to the detriment of his partner, as well as non-consensual termination of pregnancy and concealment of a corpse. In the hours following the crime, he attempted to burn the body twice, and then hid it behind some garages a few hundred meters from home. According to the psychiatric report ordered by the Court in Impagnatiello, narcissistic traits emerged, but an intact capacity for understanding and will.
These are details that tell even more about the horror of the killing of the 29-year-old on May 27, 2023, when she was seven months pregnant
On the day of the sentence, Giulia’s sister, Chiara Tramontano, has a brooch for her. “Today we don’t let you go, today we hold you tighter” he said. There are no family members of Impagnatiello in the courtroom and he made no further statements.
The lawyer Giovanni Cacciapuoti, lawyer of the Tramontano family, said: «I hope that today’s sentence, on the day against violence against women, despite being a mere coincidence, can be a useful message of hope and can represent a change of tone in human interactions.”
