Gianni Cardia

Gianni Cardia is embroiled in a legal controversy alongside his wife, Gisella Cardia, who claimed that a statue of the Virgin Mary was weeping blood. They are accused of orchestrating fraudulent appearances and making false prophecies to solicit donations from Catholic believers, amassing approximately 365,000 euros under the pretense of funding a center for sick children. Their trial is set for April 2026, following investigations that revealed the blood on the statue was allegedly pig's blood, leading the Catholic Church to label them as fraudsters.
