Memorial Plaque Stolen From Gigi Proietti's Tomb at Rome's Verano

The cemetery operator has reported the theft to police and handed surveillance footage to investigators to help identify those responsible.

Overview

  • Ama S.p.A. said unknown individuals damaged and removed the plaque from Proietti’s tomb at the Cimitero Monumentale del Verano and filed a formal complaint with police.
  • The company supplied recorded images from the cemetery’s video system to law enforcement and said it will fully cooperate with the inquiry.
  • Authorities are examining the footage and gathering evidence but have not publicly identified any suspects or released further findings.
  • The incident touches a sensitive public story because Proietti, a well-known actor who died in 2020, only received a permanent monument at Verano after years with his ashes elsewhere.
  • The case highlights questions about security at the Verano, the value of on-site surveillance as evidence, and the possibility of wider police steps if the footage yields leads.
