MONSTER OF FLORENCE: Wikipedia - Monster of Florence TV - Guardian online - Serial Killers: The Monster of Florence TV -
Four local men – Stefano Mele, Pietro Pacciani, Mario Vanni, and Giancarlo Lotti – were arrested, charged, and convicted of the crime at different times. However, these convictions have been criticized and ridiculed in the media; critics suggest that the real killer or killers have never been identified. Several other suspects were arrested and held in captivity at various times, but they were later released when subsequent murders using the same weapon and methods cast doubt on the guilt of the suspects held in captivity. Wikipedia
A sadistic murderer had transformed the hills of Tuscany into his own bloody scenario. He murdered sixteen people and terrified a whole generation of Italians. The investigation into his grotesque crimes spawned bureaucratic whichhunts, rumours of Satanic rituals, and a convoluted series of miscues and missed opportunities.

For anyone with a taste for such things, the Monster of Florence remains the most fascinating serial killer of the 20th century. In many ways, the events read like a novel: there’s a killer with a gruesome ‘signature’; there’s a link to a murder from years ago; there are endless sexual perversions; there’s the backdrop of a stunning city which itself becomes a character. The only thing that stops it being a perfect crime novel is that there’s no resolution, no neat Poirot wrap-up. Even today, nobody knows who the Monster of Florence was.
