Short hair, but feminine style… a little makeup, a shirt, 70s style, pearl necklace and old-fashioned earrings. At first glance, a completely normal lady. But if you look a little closer, the powder hides a man's skin and the age does not seem that of an 85-year-old.
Details that did not escape the civil registrar in Borgo Virgilio, a municipality near Mantova (Italy), where this "woman", Graziella Dall'Oglio, appeared to renew her identity card.
The employee immediately recognized him and notified her superiors, who notified the mayor and the local police. Thus began an internal investigation that compared the photo taken at the municipality two weeks earlier with that of the ID card that expired 10 years ago. Suspicions were strengthened.
The resemblance was obvious, but equally obvious was that she could not be Mrs. Dall'Oglio, a widowed housewife whose husband, a doctor, had passed away several years earlier.
In fact, it was the son, a currently unemployed nurse, who in the "Mrs. Doubtfire" version was replaced with the mother. The reason? The lady had died, and probably not recently, as there had been no news of her for several years.
Meanwhile, there was news about the fat pension that the son continued to receive by pretending to be his mother and submitting an income declaration every year in the name of Graziella Dall'Oglio, not small: 53 thousand euros, the fruit of her doctor husband's pension and income from the family's property, house and land.
The story had a surprising and macabre ending. The employee invited the man to return to the municipal offices to complete the procedure, and the police officers forced him to accept the disguise.
"We need to do another check on your house," they added.
"Do as you wish," he sighed.
And when they entered the house, the scene was shocking: in one room was the mother, mummified./ Corriere della Sera
