Who is Maria Rosaria Boccia, at the center of the “Sangiuliano case”

She is 41 years old, was born in Pompeii and has a very varied backgroundwhich reveals interests in fashion, aesthetic medicine, politics. Maria Rosaria Boccia is the figure at the center of the case involving the Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano: her name rose to prominence when she publicly thanked the minister, with a post on Instagram, for having appointed her as Advisor for major events. The appointment, however, was promptly denied by the ministerial staff. And from then on, what has already been dubbed as the political scandal of the summer.

Entrepreneur, Maria Rosaria Boccia, on LinkedIn, writes that she achieved a first Degree in Business Economics at the University of Naples Parthenope in 2005 and a second in Management at the Pegaso Telematic University in 2023. As he declares on Instagram (where his followers are increasing by the hour, currently well over 44 thousand), he is the president of a company called Fashion Week Milano Moda, but which has nothing to do with Milan Fashion Week.

His parents run a men’s fashion boutique and his brother Marco runs a wedding dress atelier. She too had entered the clothing trade sectorbut soon took other paths. The mayor of Pompeii, Carmine Lo Sapio, reports that “three years ago she came to the city with an association of dairy products entrepreneurs, during the city festival held in October, and donated these products to the participants who went to their stand. Last April, during the Festival of Beauty that we organize in Pompeii, she brought university professors and doctors, promoting various screenings for some diseases, everything was organized very well».

His Instagram profile also shows a regular presence at political events: for example, in May he was with Forza Italia MP Annarita Patriarca at the presentation of a motion for VAT exemption for aesthetic surgery and medicine treatmentsand in July in the press room at the Chamber to talk about the Mediterranean diet and tumors. Maria Rosaria Boccia has also published a photo with minister Lollobrigida in an event at the Pompeii excavations, another at the Chamber with the head of Agriculture for the creation of an intergroup, Mediterranean Diet: Nutrition, Prevention & Cultureof which she calls herself “president of the organizing committee”. In recent months, however, photos with Gennaro Sangiuliano have become more and more frequent.
