The possibility of a review of the trial that saw Alberto Stasi definitively sentenced to 16 years in prison for the 2007 murder of his girlfriend Chiara Poggi is being discussed in Francesca Nanni's office, on the third floor of the Palace of Justice in Milan .

It is in fact up to the Attorney General's Office of the Lombardy capital , together with the Attorney General's Office, a task entrusted to Lucilla Tontodonati, to evaluate the documents that the Pavia prosecutor's office will submit in the coming weeks, barring a change of plans . These documents have been collected over a year of investigation in an attempt to prove that Andrea Sempio, not Stasi, is responsible for the crime.

The first woman to hold the position of Attorney General at the Milan Court of Appeal, a prestigious position held, among others, by Francesco Saverio Borrelli and Manlio Minale, Francesca Nanni has been a magistrate since 1986. Originally from Liguria, before arriving in Milan, she held a similar position in Cagliari. It was she who, in 2019, signed the request for a review of Beniamino Zuncheddu's case. And it was she who believed, studied, and investigated to find the key to reconstructing the Sinnai massacre, which would later lead to the man's 32-year prison sentence as an innocent man.

Thanks to the investigation conducted by Nanni, along with defense attorney Mauro Trogu, on January 26, 2024, Beniamino Zuncheddu was acquitted, after 32 years in prison as innocent, "for not having committed the crime." This miscarriage of justice resulted in the longest unjust detention in Italian history.

"To request a review of a criminal trial that ended with a definitive conviction, new evidence is needed," Nanni herself explained upon Zuncheddu's acquittal. "And something decisive is needed, as well as new, because obviously the quality of the evidence is also being assessed." This is precisely the "neither quick nor easy" task, as she herself described it, that awaits her now if, as it appears, the Pavia Prosecutor's Office requests a review of the Garlasco murder, one of the most controversial judicial cases in Italy.
