A promotional video of a restaurant in Italy led to the divorce of a man, caught with his mistress, after his wife discovered the infidelity.

A promotional video made by a restaurant in Catania, Italy, had devastating consequences for a marriage. A man's wife accidentally discovered that he was having an extramarital affair, having been caught on film at a table with his mistress, while he had told her that he was attending a business dinner. The images were published on the restaurant's social media, and the wife immediately recognized the person in the video, which led to a family crisis and ultimately to the man's divorce.

The man contacted Codacons, the Italian Association for Consumer Rights, claiming that he was filmed without his consent. The organization is now analyzing the case to determine the restaurant's liability and to seek compensation, considering the legislation on personal data protection that imposes clear obligations on operators processing such information.
