Marco Brancaccia’s Affair
According to Giuggioli’s public statement, Brancaccia became romantically involved with the film producer when she was separated from her husband. Firth and his wife have since reunited but she now claims that her former lover has been stalking her, since all ties were cut with him. The stalking claims were reported to UK newspaper, The Times and Italian newspaper, La Repubblica.
Brancaccia’s lawyers reportedly denied the claims, saying: “Mr. Brancaccia has absolutely nothing to do with the events described and has already filed a legal complaint to protect his good name and his honour, and to be able to supply his version of the truth of what happened. The reconstruction of the events by La Repubblica does not correspond to what really happened [sic].”
Reportedly, Italian prosecutors have asked the case to be taken to trial in Rome, with a representative for Firth, saying: “There is an ongoing criminal prosecution and it would be inappropriate to comment in this circumstance.”
One of Brancaccia’s lawyers is Rosita Vallone and if he is found guilty, he could serve up to four years in jail.
Another Marco Brancaccia?
As it turns out, the name Marco Brancaccia is a popular name in Italy and the alleged stalker is being confused with a freelance photographer and reporter, who is also named Marco Brancaccia! What are the odds of that?
“Just to avoid misunderstandings and since the news has also gone out on other newspapers, I point out that it is not me. Yes, I’m a journalist and I’m a photographer but no, I’ve never threatened or harassed anyone,” the freelance reporter wrote on his website.
In light of the scandal, the freelance photographer offered a 15% discount to all of his customers, with the code “Colin Firth.” That’s certainly one way to gain business!
