Francesco Dolci, the former boyfriend of Pamela Genini, is under investigation following the discovery that Genini’s grave had been profaned in a cemetery in Strozza. The investigation into the desecration has led authorities to search Dolci’s residence and examine his movements and communications.
According to reporting from ANSA, investigators have seized several objects from the home of the former partner as part of the ongoing inquiry. This action follows reports from Corriere Bergamo indicating that Dolci had made frequent visits to the cemetery to inspect the tombstone of the deceased woman.
A further point of contention in the investigation involves a missing mobile phone belonging to Dolci. As reported by Virgilio, the device allegedly contained chat logs between Dolci and Pamela Genini. When questioned about the location of the phone, Dolci stated that he does not remember where It’s.
Claims of Innocence and Conspiracy
Dolci has denied any involvement in the crime. Speaking to L’Eco di Bergamo, he maintained his innocence and expressed exhaustion regarding the legal proceedings.
I am tired but I am not afraid, I am innocent

Beyond his claims of innocence, Dolci has suggested that the desecration of the grave was not an isolated act. He has alleged that a deliberate criminal plot was responsible for the attack on the tomb.
Background of the Case
The investigation into the grave profanation follows the violent death of Pamela Genini. In October 2025, the 29-year-old woman was killed by her partner, Gianluca Soncin, who inflicted multiple stab wounds. Soncin was taken into custody on charges that included homicide and stalking.
The desecration of the grave was discovered months after Genini’s burial. Cemetery staff in Strozza, who were preparing for a reburial, discovered that the coffin had been tampered with. Investigation revealed that screws or fastenings had been loosened to gain access to the body.
Upon opening the coffin, responders found that the corpse had been mutilated and the head was missing. This discovery prompted a formal inquiry by the Prosecutor of Bergamo into the theft of the head and the crime of vilipendio di cadavere, or the desecration of a corpse.
Legal observers have noted that the removal of human remains from a tomb typically suggests motives beyond simple theft, potentially pointing toward ritualized possession or an intent to intimidate the family of the victim.
The Prosecutor of Bergamo continues to examine the evidence, including the seized materials from Dolci’s home and the circumstances surrounding the missing phone, to determine the identity of those responsible for the mutilation.
