Martini, Maurizio
Seiyuu / Dub
Summary
Maurizio serves as the husband of Grazela and the younger brother of Viscount Vittorio Martini, making him the uncle of Alfredo and Bianca. Along with his wife, Maurizio harbors intense jealousy toward the viscount, coveting the family’s vast wealth and specifically the prestigious Martini medal. This malicious envy drove the couple to arson, resulting in the destruction of the Martini mansion in Piedmont and the deaths of Viscount Vittorio and his wife, Viscountess Patrizia. Although Alfredo and Bianca escaped the fire with the genuine medal, Maurizio and Grazela hunted the siblings relentlessly, framing them for the tragedy to cover their crimes. When Alfredo moved to Milan for work, the villains captured Bianca, using her as a hostage to coerce him into surrendering the medal. The Black Brothers eventually rescued Bianca, reuniting her with Alfredo and thwarting the couple’s initial attempt to seize the artifact. Undeterred, Maurizio and Grazela continued their schemes. Prior to a royal banquet attended by the King of Italy, Maurizio commissioned a replica of the Martini medal, wearing the forgery to his event to avoid detection. When the King learned that Alfredo and Bianca were present, Maurizio and his guards attempted to kill the siblings, but the Black Brothers, the Wolf Pack, and Countess Isabella Montovani intervened to save them. During the banquet, accompanied by Countess Montovani, Alfredo and Bianca confronted their relatives before the King of Italy. Alfredo exposed Maurizio’s medal as a counterfeit, pointing out the absence of the "mark of benediction" on its reverse, which was present on the genuine artifact held by Alfredo. The King verified this discrepancy, confirming the forgery. Consequently, Maurizio and Grazela were exposed as impostors, expelled from the banquet, and their plans ultimately failed. Alfredo and Bianca successfully cleared their names and reclaimed their family inheritance.
