Maria Rosaria Boccia, an Italian influencer and president of the Fashion Week Milano Moda association, has sparked controversy after posting a photo on Instagram with the Italian Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano. Boccia claimed in the post that the Minister had appointed her as an advisor for major events. However, the Ministry has strongly denied the appointment. Following the controversy, opposition parties have filed parliamentary inquiries to investigate the matter further. Boccia has since defended her claims on social media, stating that the appointment decree has been signed by the Minister and is awaiting ratification.
