ROME – The details that emerge from the testimony at the trial of Alessandro Impagnatiello on the brutal murder of Giulia Tramontano and her child, whose life he took with 37 stab wounds on May 27, 2023, are chilling. The woman was seven months pregnant. In the courtroom, the victim’s parents and sister, Chiara Tramontano, who chose to leave when the accused made his statements, were present.
He had already confessed to having killed Giulia Tramontano, he reiterated this this morning before the judges of the Court of Assizes of Milan. “Yes, I killed her and hid the body – he said. I killed her on the evening of May 27th.” Why did he kill Giulia? “A question I’ve asked myself billions of times. A question that will never be answered. There is not and there will never be a reason for all this violence, this aggression, this destruction,” says Impagnatiello who explains that the relationship with his lover was now at an end: “A.C. and I. we were never together, it was just a carnal, physical relationship. He was leaving and was going to make his decision right. And Giulia and I would never have broken up, we were planning to go to Naples in September. We wouldn’t have broken up.”

“I threw petrol and flammable liquid on Giulia’s body without aiming for a particular wound. I wasn’t myself. I threw those products randomly, it could have been a leg, like the trunk or a shoulder”, says the accused who confesses how he hid the woman’s body in the garage at home. “I wrote to my family not to reveal its presence. Inside I had a small closet where I grew marijuana for personal use, one or two plants. So I told my family: don’t tell them about the box, with the motivation of the plants it was actually due to the presence of Giulia’s body”. So “I bought the trolley to move the body, but it was impossible to put it on and I abandoned it. On several occasions I tried to transport Giulia’s body back from the cellar to the garage. I couldn’t do it because something prevented me from moving it. I tried to move the body from the cellar to the car. I couldn’t do it, I took it to the cellar. From there then to the garage. And, finally, perhaps the most terrifying detail of all: “I went to lunch at my mother, I had Giulia’s body on board”.
