Paolo Zampolli Family Background
Paolo Zampolli is an only child. [67][72] His father Giovanni Zampolli (Italian, born unknown, Italy; died 1988, Saint Moritz, Switzerland) was an Italian entrepreneur and the founder of the Milan-based toy company Harbert. [82][84] Harbert held the Italian distribution rights for major USian toy brands including Star Wars action figures manufactured by Kenner under licence from Hasbro, Easy-Bake Ovens marketed in Italy as Dolce Forno, and a wide range of Hasbro and Marvel Comics merchandise. [66][68][84] Harbert became one of the most recognisable toy brands in Italian retail during the 1970s and 1980s, and made the Zampolli family wealthy. [66][68] Paolo Zampolli began his working life as a child testing prototypes at Harbert and selecting which toys the company would launch into the Italian market. [67]
Paolo Zampolli spent part of his childhood at the Zampolli family castle in Azzate, a municipality in the province of Varese in Lombardy. [1] Paolo Zampolli has claimed a distant familial relation to Pope Paul VI, born Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria Montini (Italian, born September 26, 1897, Concesio, Italy; died August 6, 1978, Castel Gandolfo, Italy), through his grandmother. [1] No genealogical documentation of this claim appears in available public sources; it is self-reported.
Giovanni Zampolli died in a skiing accident in 1988, when Paolo Zampolli was 18 years old. [73][76] One source places the accident at Saint Moritz, Switzerland. [1] No information about Paolo Zampollis mother appears in any public source consulted for this profile; her name, nationality, and current circumstances are undocumented. Paolo Zampolli has described himself in interviews as an only child raised in a wealthy Milanese family. [72]
As a child, Paolo Zampolli had a personal connection to John Casablancas (French-Danish, born December 3, 1942, New York City; died July 20, 2013, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), the founder of Elite Model Management. Paolo Zampolli told Vanity Fair in 2001: I had John Casablancas spending the summer with me when I was a kid. [66][68][71] John Casablancas corroborated this, saying of Paolo Zampolli: Ive known Paolo from before the beginning. [66][68][71] This childhood acquaintance predates the later professional relationship between the two men, and connects Paolo Zampollis origins to one of the most extensively documented predatory networks in the history of the modelling industry.
After Giovanni Zampollis death in 1988, Paolo Zampolli left college to take over Harbert. [66][68][76] He later told the New York Times that Milan felt too small for him. [72] Paolo Zampolli then sold Harbert to a group controlled by Silvio Berlusconi (Italian, born September 29, 1936, Milan; died June 12, 2023, Milan), the television magnate, property developer, and future three-time Prime Minister of Italy. [1][66][68]

Yes, but her last name isn't Harris, Biden or Obama, so the corporate media looks the other way.
