A dramatic episode has shocked the community of Lazise on Lake Garda, where a family conflict has turned into a tragedy. Yesterday, on Friday, July 12th, Franco Campagnari, a well-known candy vendor, was fatally stabbed by his son Marco.
The incident took place inside their home on Tonol Street. According to initial reports, the argument between father and son erupted over the 67-year-old’s decision to sell the two-story country villa where they both resided. Franco Campagnari had brought along a potential buyer, which sparked Marco’s anger.
