New York City Woman Seeks $50 million By Determining Who Her Real Father Is




Good thing these men were not cremated.

[From article]
A Brooklyn-raised woman could reap as much as $50 million after exhuming the body of the man she had always called “Dad” and using his DNA to prove he really wasn’t her father, The Post has learned.
The dig allowed Nina Sebastiana Viola Montepagani, now 62 and living upstate, to make room on her birth certificate for the wealthy Italian physician she believes is her biological father.
But she may yet need to dig up one more grave — this one in Rome — before she can claim her eight-figure inheritance.
The physician she believes to be her dad, Dr. Sebastiano Raeli, has been dead for five years.
[. . .]
The Brooklyn-born Montepagani has believed for decades that she is Raeli’s daughter — and with good reason.
The affair between the wealthy Italian and her mom was a thinly veiled family secret.
Anna Viola had met the well-to-do Raeli in Rome in 1951. It is unclear why they did not marry, but Anna was eight months pregnant with Nina Sebastiana when she sailed for the United States to marry Joseph Viola, who lovingly raised the girl as his own.
