A bitter legal dispute between former Italian soccer star Francesco Totti and his ex-wife, showgirl Ilary Blasi, has intensified with court filings concerning the upkeep of their sprawling €7.9 million Roman villa.Beyond property repairs and zoning compliance, the case has unearthed allegations of financial irregularities and even questions regarding the welfare of the couple’s youngest daughter. The complex situation highlights a contentious post-divorce battle playing out publicly in Italy.
A dispute between Italian showgirl Ilary Blasi and former soccer star Francesco Totti has escalated to include a legal battle over the maintenance of a sprawling Roman villa, according to recent filings. The property, located in the EUR-Torrino district of Rome, features 25 rooms spanning 972 square meters, along with two swimming pools, soccer and paddle tennis courts.
Currently, Blasi is the tenant and Totti the owner of the residence. In November, a ceiling collapsed in the area housing a home cinema and Totti’s famed jersey collection, rendering the rooms unusable and revealing significant dampness and mold, as documented in video footage. Blasi has requested Totti cover the costs of the extensive repairs, a legal obligation for property owners in Italy.
Following a failed inspection with their respective technical experts in November, Blasi, through her attorney Marco De Santis of the Andrea Pietrolucci firm, initiated legal proceedings under Article 700 of the Italian Code of Civil Procedure. This allows for urgent court intervention to prevent irreparable damage to a party’s rights. Simultaneously, Blasi’s legal team requested access to municipal records to verify the property’s zoning compliance, focusing on areas registered as garage space that underwent a classification change in 2011.
The villa was originally purchased by Totti in 2011 from construction firm Bel Eur, owned by Luca Parnasi, for €7.911.700. The transaction included a down payment of €2.6 million, with the remainder financed through a mortgage with UniCredit. Recent attempts by both sides to reach a settlement have stalled, with discussions centering on Blasi potentially purchasing an alternative property while Totti prepares the villa for sale under agreed-upon terms.
The dispute comes amid separate legal proceedings involving allegations of financial mismanagement by Totti. Blasi previously accused her ex-husband of excessive gambling losses – reportedly totaling €3.324.000 in casino transfers – undeclared foreign accounts, and failure to report image rights income. An investigation by Italian financial authorities revealed discrepancies in Totti’s tax filings related to advertising revenue, leading to a payment of approximately €200,000 in back taxes, penalties, and interest. Blasi’s legal team further alleged that Totti failed to disclose all credit cards and bank accounts during the initial divorce proceedings, prompting a court-ordered review of both parties’ financial records.
Adding to the legal complexities, a separate investigation remains open regarding the alleged abandonment of Isabel, the couple’s youngest daughter. On May 26, 2024, the seven-year-old was reportedly left unsupervised at home for approximately one hour while Totti and his partner, Noemi Bocchi, were dining out. The children of Bocchi were also present. Blasi alerted her mother, who checked on the situation, and subsequently contacted the police. Responding officers found a cleaning woman at the residence, though investigators later determined her presence was not consistent with initial statements.
Prosecutors are currently evaluating whether the circumstances constituted a risk to the child, with differing legal interpretations regarding the threshold for establishing negligence. While the cleaning woman claimed to be providing supervision, investigators found evidence suggesting she arrived shortly before the police, raising questions about the extent of care provided during the period the child was unattended. The public prosecutor’s office has requested further investigation into the matter.
Blasi’s legal counsel has opposed the potential dismissal of the abandonment case, arguing that the evidence warrants prosecution. The case hinges on the legal definition of “endangerment,” with recent rulings suggesting even a potential risk is sufficient for charges, while older precedents require proof of a concrete threat. A judge will ultimately determine the appropriate course of action.
