Man Disguises Himself As His Deceased Mother to Continue Collecting Her Pension

Move over Mrs. Doubtfire, Italy just crowned the new undisputed champion of “Hellooo, dear” impersonations! A 57-year-old unemployed nurse spent three years rocking his late mom’s wardrobe, perfecting the art of the grandma shuffle, and apparently mastering corpse preservation like a budget Hannibal Lecter—all so he could keep cashing her €800 monthly pension checks. When the ID card finally expired and he had to show up in person wearing a wig, lipstick, and the unshakable confidence of a man who’s been draining his mother’s corpse for fluids, the registry office staff took one look at the five-o’clock shadow peeking through the foundation and said, “Ciao bella… NOT.” Robin Williams would be proud; the Italian police, less so.
