Overview

• In the written motivations, Judge Paolo Gallo says the defendant "va compreso" and describes the violence as an "sfogo" tied to the end of a twenty‑year relationship.
• The tribunal acquitted the man of maltrattamenti and convicted him only of lesioni, imposing a one‑year‑and‑six‑month sentence suspended with conditional release.
• Prosecutor Barbara Badellino had sought four and a half years, while the defense called the ruling rigorous and the victim’s lawyer said it mortifies the victim.
• Lucia Regna sustained catastrophic injuries in the July 28, 2022 attack, including facial reconstruction with 21 titanium plates and a permanent ocular‑nerve lesion.
• Following publication of the motivations, the parliamentary commission on femicide, led by Martina Semenzato, said it will request the case files for review.
