The blood on the statuette of the Madonna of Trevignano is that of Gisella Cardia, the alleged seer investigated for fraud. This is what emerged from the analysis of four traces of genetic material made by Emiliano Giardina, already an expert in the investigation into the deaths of Yara Gambirasio and Manuela Murgia.
For the consultant, therefore, the DNA on the statuette is that of Maria Giuseppa Scarpulla, the name registered to the seer who for a long time claimed to have visions. A theory that has attracted pilgrims and believers from all over Italy to the gates of Rome. The geneticist has analyzed four traces, two on the cheeks of the statuette, one on the face and one on the robe of the painting depicting Christ. They all lead back to Cardia's DNA.
The defense had instead argued that the traces could contain mixed DNA. The Civitavecchia court refused to extend the investigation, effectively confirming the evidentiary framework that had emerged so far. The Vatican had already expressed its opinion on the matter of the alleged apparitions of Trevignano, declaring the absolute non-existence of any "supernatural nature". Furthermore, in a decree the bishop of Civita Castellana had forbidden the faithful to organize or participate in meetings that would take the supernatural truth of the events for granted.
