Madonna of Trevignano, Gisella recounts the first apparition 8 years ago: "I was watching TV on the bed with my husband"
On 21 April 2024, eight years have passed since the first time Gisella Cardia said that her Madonna appeared to her in Trevignano Romano, leaving her a message for the faithful. “I was lying on the bed with my husband and watching TV.”
"Our Lady appeared to me and she left me a message for the faithful." Eight years ago for the first time Maria Gisella Scarpulla, better known as Gisella Cardia, said this phrase for the first time. It was a spring Thursday, she was at her house in Trevignano Romano, in the province of Rome, and she was watching television with her husband Gianni.
An episode that the visionary herself has told on several occasions and which Luigi Avella - the former believer who donated 123 thousand euros to the Madonna di Trevignano Ets association - also recalls in detail in his book 'When the devil dresses like an outlet' . About a month earlier, in March 2016, the Public Prosecutor of Patti entered the name of Maria Giuseppa Scarpulla in the register of suspects, and then informed her that the trial would begin with the first bankruptcy hearing.
Fanpage.it told what happened after, from the purchase of the land of the rosaries in via Campo Le Rose, up to the decree of the commission of the diocese of Civita Castellana and of Bishop Marco Salvi, who on 6 March 2024 declared for the facts of Trevignano Romano "constat de non supernaturalitate", that is, that there is nothing supernatural: in short, the Madonna has never appeared on Lake Bracciano.

The visionary Gisella says she saw the Madonna for the first time
Gisella said for the first time eight years ago that she saw the Madonna: "While I was with my husband lying on the bed watching TV, I heard a voice calling me. I asked my husband to turn down the volume on the television and as I turned towards the figurine positioned on the dresser, I saw the Madonna wrapped in a white veil and a blue/light blue cloak". In tears I told my husband the Madonnina! the Madonna! And instinctively we kneel at the foot of the bed."
Gisella Cardia's first 'celestial message'
My daughter, I am the Holy Virgin, do not be afraid, I chose you because you are full of love and hope and life must be founded on this. I will send you many people who need to be converted, do not close the doors but open them, so that everyone can see and learn to love my son Jesus. I will return soon and they too (referring to my family) will feel my presence as a sign. I bless you in the name of the father, of the son and of the Holy Spirit. At the end of the apparition, all my family members in the house heard the sound of bells.
"The Madonna of Gisella is rude"
Luigi Avella, Mariologist with an academic qualification, who published two books that can be consulted for free on the Trevignano Romano affair, even before the verdict of the diocese of Civita Castellana on the non-supernaturality of the facts arrived, commented thus on the first apparition told by Gisella: "Given that Heaven can appear where it wants and say what it wants, the comparison with other visions recognized by the Church is interesting. First of all the fact that to appear - according to Gisella - the Madonna would have chosen a bedroom with people lying down and. the TV on. In all the mariophanies, the Madonna indicated worship in churches, never in a home for a domestic church. Furthermore, the Madonna, as she appears through Gisella, would be rude : begins with a message addressed to both spouses (I chose you) and then ends with a I bless you, excluding the spouse, as if it were a two of spades, when playing money (reflected light). An unnoble and rude gesture."
