Dr. Ítalo Venturelli
Neurologist / neurosurgeon · claimed Varginha witness
Credibility: 4/10
Dr. Ítalo Venturelli is a Brazilian neurologist/neurosurgeon who, in James Fox’s expanded Varginha project in 2026, publicly said for the first time that he had seen a living non-human being at Varginha Regional Hospital in 1996. By his own account, a colleague led him to a room where the being lay on a bed after treatment. He described a teardrop-shaped skull, lilac eyes, white skin, and a hand with three fingers and an opposing thumb. Venturelli said he remained silent for three decades and spoke only after a serious illness. The account is documented as a personal retrospective. The video he says he saw, clinical records, samples, and independent confirmation of the event are not publicly available. The published Brazilian military inquiry also reached the opposite conclusion about the Varginha complex.
