Overview
- A February 6 ordinance from the Tribunale di Roma identifies Gian Luca Pelloni Bulzoni, Carrà’s longtime collaborator, as her adopted son, sole heir, and holder of image, name, voice, moral and exploitation rights.
- Judge Laura Centofanti denied his emergency request to block the theatrical musical Ballo ballo because all scheduled performances had already occurred, leaving any damages to a potential merits trial.
- Court filings note his objection to a ticket promotion that paired the show with free chips and Coca‑Cola, which he argued offended Carrà’s memory.
- The Fondazione Raffaella Carrà said the adoption was intended to continue Carrà’s initiatives, noting Pelloni Bulzoni’s role in launching the foundation for charitable and cultural projects.
- Documents also indicate he may have been aware of the tour and signed preliminary agreements, a point that could be examined if the dispute proceeds to a full trial, as media reaction ranges from prior corroboration to surprise.
