Sources: 2. Developments: 2. The Italian Court of Cassation has ordered a new trial for Alessandro Impagnatiello regarding the 2023 murder of his pregnant partner, Giulia Tramontano, and their unborn child. While previous rulings upheld a life sentence for the killing in Senago, they had not recognized the aggravating factor of premeditation. The new proceedings will specifically re-evaluate whether the act was premeditated. Evidence cited by the prosecution includes the alleged administration of rat poison to the victim over several months prior to the murder, which involved more than 30 stab wounds. While the defense has argued that the timeline of the attack precluded a premeditated plan, the prosecution maintains that the choice of weapon and subsequent actions indicate a calculated act. The decision follows appeals from the Milan General Prosecutor's Office and significant public outcry from the victim’s family. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-04: Italy orders new trial in Giulia Tramontano murder case Italy's Court of Cassation has ordered a new trial for Alessandro Impagnatiello to determine if the 2023 murder of his pregnant partner, Giulia Tramontano, was premeditated. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/italy-orders-new-trial-in-giulia-tramontano-murder-case ### 2026-08-31: Alessandro Impagnatiello faces new trial over premeditation in Tramontano murder Italy's Supreme Court has ordered a new trial for Alessandro Impagnatiello to determine if the murder of Giulia Tramontano was premeditated, citing evidence of prior poisoning. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/alessandro-impagnatiello-faces-new-trial-over-premeditation-in-tramontano-murder --- Cite as: Legal proceedings in Giulia Tramontano murder case.
