Overview

• Michael Boschetto, 32, was fatally stabbed at his home in Villafranca Padovana on April 27, 2024, during a dispute with his friend and neighbor, Giacomo Friso.
• Investigators recovered Boschetto’s iPhone at the scene but could not bypass its security for more than a year.
• Boschetto’s father regained access to the device in early June 2025 and discovered a brief selfie video shot by Friso immediately after the murder.
• Friso, 34, who had recently returned from drug rehabilitation and was known locally for mental instability, faces charges of aggravated murder.
• The selfie video is expected to be introduced as key evidence when Friso’s trial opens on September 11, 2025, before the Corte d’Assise.
