Sangiuliano, this is how he tried to save his relationship with his wife after the Boccia case storm
New details emerge regarding the Sangiuliano-Boccia case, in particular on the moves of the now ex-Minister of Culture before submitting his letter of resignation, this time irrevocable. Sangiuliano has chosen silence and prayer to forget the storm related to the statements of his former lover and failed consultant Maria Rosaria Boccia. A private visit that lasted about two hours, gathered in prayer in front of the Grotto of the Nativity, he and she alone, Gennaro Sangiuliano and his wife Federica Corsini, in the heart of the Franciscan sanctuary of Greccio, where – reports Il Corriere della Sera – according to tradition the Saint of Assisi celebrated the first reenactment, with living characters, of the birth of Christ on Christmas night in 1223. Brother Giovanni Loche, the guardian of the sanctuary, of the Order of Friars Minor, confirms the meeting in the Chapel of the Nativity: “I can’t say the exact date but I would say it was a week or two ago, at most. The minister was with his wife, we spoke together, but the content of the conversation, if you’ll allow me, I’ll keep it to myself”.
“He – Dagospia revealed – told his wife everything and went to her to win her back. But she rejected him. Then Sangiuliano went on a spiritual retreat in Greccio. And his wife joined him to recover the marriage”. All confirmed. But even Marco Antonini cannot be precise about the date of Sangiuliano’s arrival in Greccio (“Certainly after mid-August”), a good friend of the former minister and founder of the Third Sector association Oasi di Greccio, which everyone here calls “the Oasis of Baby Jesus”, where families and groups stop for up to a week for their retreats in the shade of the holm oaks of the Valle Santa. So, Sangiuliano and his wife, – continues Il Corriere – accompanied by the guardian friar, passed in front of the dormitory of San Bonaventura, admired the pulpit of San Bernardino and stopped, when they arrived at the refectory, in front of a fresco with a large Latin inscription: “Silentium”. Perhaps the right end to this story.
