Fiorello, Theft in the Villa in Rome
On the night of August 7, 2025, the luxurious villa of Italian showman Rosario Fiorello in Rome’s Via della Camilluccia was burglarized by a skilled band of thieves. The robbers, believed to be professionals, disabled the alarm system and entered through a patio door, making off with a haul exceeding €300,000, including gold jewelry, exclusive necklaces, precious stones, and several high-value watches. The family was out of town, and the theft was discovered the next morning by the housekeeper, who found the home ransacked.
Police and forensic teams conducted a thorough investigation but found no usable fingerprints, likely due to the thieves’ use of latex gloves. Authorities suspect a well-organized group, possibly with prior knowledge of the villa’s valuables, as the heist was meticulously planned. There’s speculation about an informant, though this remains unconfirmed. The police are focusing on known professional thieves in Rome’s northern districts and monitoring black-market networks to track the stolen goods.
This is the fourth time Fiorello’s villa has been targeted, with previous incidents noted in 2008 and 2019. The latest theft follows a string of high-profile burglaries in Rome, including those targeting the homes of designer Valentino, footballer Matias Vecino, and the widow of Domenico Modugno. Investigations are ongoing, with hopes of identifying the culprits soon. For updates, check Il Messaggero or Corriere della Sera.
