Rome Court Declines Guardian for Sgarbi, Orders Expert Review on Marriage and Will

The decision triggers a formal capacity assessment covering marriage, wills, plus extraordinary asset moves.

Overview

  • The Tribunal of Rome ruled Vittorio Sgarbi remains capable for everyday affairs, rejecting an amministratore di sostegno for routine matters.
  • Judge Paola Scorza appointed psychologist‑psychotherapist Lili (Lilli) Romeo as court expert to evaluate Sgarbi’s ability to understand complex personal and patrimonial decisions.
  • Proceedings on extraordinary acts are suspended pending the expert’s report, with Sgarbi’s lawyer indicating a timeframe of roughly one to one and a half months for the evaluation.
  • Evelina Sgarbi, who sought a guardian, welcomed the CTU appointment after her bid to recuse the judge was rejected earlier.
  • Sgarbi reiterated his autonomy, while partner Sabrina Colle said the couple had already decided to postpone the wedding and announced legal action against Evelina, her lawyer, and Mediaset over alleged manipulation of coverage.
