Overview

• Evelina Sgarbi filed the petition through lawyer Lorenzo Iacobbi, alleging her father can no longer manage his interests, with the hearing set at the Tribunale civile di Roma on 28 October.
• The proceeding targets the management of Vittorio Sgarbi’s substantial patrimony as part of the requested amministratore di sostegno.
• Sgarbi denies any incapacity, calls his daughter "esosa," and says he will formally oppose the measure.
• He is recuperating in Tuscany after a hospitalization at Policlinico Gemelli for depression and says he plans to return to Arpino by the end of the month with a less intense political schedule.
• During his absence Arpino has been run by deputy mayor Massimo Sera, and opinion in the town is split between those awaiting his return and those urging resignation or new elections.
