He was formally resident in Pontevico, together with the rest of the family. He was known in Pontevico, even if he was always just passing through. She got there when he moved his carousel from one fair to another. And he stayed very little, even though he had recently chosen the town of Bassa as the base of his headquarters. A few months ago, in Pontevico, in fact, he had purchased a shed: the space needed to store the tools of the trade.
In Pontevico, Alberto Fiorihe will never come back. The 75-year-old carnie originally from Lodi was killed late on Wednesday evening in Villafranca, in the province of Verona, during a dispute with other carnies. At the moment, the investigations have not clarified what the exact reason for the dispute is. It seems that the discussion arose regarding the spaces in which to install the attractions for the St. Peter and Paul fair, but it is not excluded that there were old disagreements between the contenders, rust accumulated over time. What is certain in any case is that in the midst of the discussion, which then transcended into a fight, a gun appeared and there was nothing Fiori could do.
On Thursday, not even 24 hours later, accompanied by his lawyer, Athos Colombo, the 56-year-old carnie showed up at the Mantua police station. The man turned himself in and ended up in prison on charges of voluntary homicide and injury. Together with Alberto Fiori, who died in hospital, another carnie was hit, fortunately less seriously. This is a 49-year-old injured in the leg.
To reconstruct the exact dynamics of the murder, the deputy prosecutor Elvira Vitulli and the team of investigators she is coordinating in the field are collecting video surveillance images and the testimonies of those present. Starting with the injured carnie.
