The Italian court in Milan has ordered Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio, heir to Luxottica, to return his one-year-old daughter Bianca to her mother, ex-fiancée Sara Soldati, by 6 PM on Tuesday. The ruling follows a complaint from Soldati, who alleges that Del Vecchio has been holding the child hostage since July 9th on his 72-meter yacht in Sardinia. Legal representatives of Soldati claim she was able to board the yacht only on July 24th but was prevented from being alone with Bianca. The court’s order comes after an application by one of Soldati’s lawyers, Annamaria Bernardini De Pace, requesting the child be placed with the mother. The case involves allegations of private violence and abduction, with Del Vecchio’s legal team citing a private document signed by Soldati under duress, which they assert will soon be declared invalid.

A father in Italy attempted to modify child custody arrangements to spend more time with his children by leveraging his remote work schedule, but the Italian Supreme Court (Cassazione) rejected his appeal. The court ruled that the father’s request was inadmissible because he had not sufficiently clarified his remote work commitments, which were insufficient to justify changing the children’s stable living environment. The case involves two children who have been primarily cared for by their mother in Vicenza since 2019, with the father allowed limited visitation rights in Milan. The father argued that his remote work would allow him to keep the children until Monday, but the court emphasized the importance of stability for the children’s schooling and well-being. The ruling highlights the legal complexities surrounding work-life balance and child custody decisions.
