00:00This is a photo of an Italian woman, and this is her son.

00:06As clear as it looks, the man is disguised as his late mother, a case that shocked Italy.

00:14After his mother died at home, this man mummified her body and hid the truth, then began impersonating

00:22her.

00:24The 56-year-old cut his hair to match his mother's, wore her clothes, and even copied

00:30her facial appearance, visiting government offices pretending to be her, all to collect

00:36her pension.

00:38He managed to fool authorities for nearly three years until he tried to renew her ID and was

00:44caught when an employee noticed something strange in his face and voice.

00:50He is now under investigation for fraud and concealing his mother's corpse.
