“But what bunga bunga, that was my office.” The mystery of the secret door in Palazzo Grazioli has been solved

The mystery of the secret door in Palazzo Grazioli seems solved. The door that emerges from behind a bookcase in the apartment that was the home-office in Rome of Silvio Berlusconi for over twenty years, it does not hide any mysterious passage towards the outside of the building. The discovery came after the move of the Foreign Press from via dell’Umiltà to Palazzo Grazioli. Made public by the London ‘Times’ correspondent, Tom Kington, who a month ago discovered what was under the wooden wall shelving in one of the rooms of the Cav’s headquarters.

The English journalist posted a video and asked a question with a clear allusion to the so-called elegant bunga bunga dinners: “Is this a good way to allow party guests to leave quickly?”. In reality that gap does not constitute any escape route.

“But what bunga bunga”

“But what secret room in the bunga bunga…”, the former Forza Italia parliamentarian admits with a smile Francesco Giro, who assures Adnkronos: “That was my office when I worked in via del Plebiscito, on the first noble floor of Palazzo Grazioli. Which was located exactly at the intersection between Via della Gatta and Piazza Grazioli. There were my papers. and behind the bookcase there was a small door, which led to the landing.” In detail, explains Giro “there was a double entrance that led to the landing. The main entrance led to the central corridor which led straight, at the end, to President Berlusconi’s study. The secondary entrance, usually reserved for servants, was the one hidden behind the bookcase of my old office, which was then closed and for a few years used as a storage room for papers and paintings. The two entrances did not lead out of the building but into the internal courtyard through the elevator or the staircase that ended in front of the building. current concierge, once manned 24 hours a day by reporters following the Italian leader”.
