Husband Admits to Killing Italian Porn Star

ROME — The husband of the late porn star Moana Pozzi told Italian news agency ANSA that he helped her die in September 1994 so she wouldn’t succumb to the slow, painful death of cancer. Italian police have now begun a probe into the performer’s death.

Pozzi’s husband, Antonio Di Ciesco, told ANSA that he eased his wife’s pain by allowing air into her intravenous drip, ending her life.

“It was a decision we took with serenity,” he said. “It was the right choice because there was no other way out, but one which cost me a lot.”

Di Ciesco, along with Pozzi’s former manager and mother, are wanted for questioning by Roman police, who also have obtained medical records from the clinic in Lyon, France, where Pozzi died. If Di Ciesco confirms his “mercy killing” to police, he could be charged with murder.

Pozzi’s unexpected death has hatched many theories and rumors about her demise, including whispers that she faked her own death to leave the porn world behind so she could live an idyllic life in the French countryside. Di Ciesco told Italian newspaper Il Messaggero that he confessed to put the rumors to rest, finally.

Pozzi reached the height of her popularity in 1992 when she co-founded, along with porn star-turned-politician Ciccolina, the Love Party of Italy, whose political platform included the legalization of prostitution and improved sex education. Pozzi performed mostly in Italy, but is best known in the U.S. for her work with “Deep Throat” director Gerard Damiano.
