Several fatal dog attacks in Italy
There are repeated fatal dog bite attacks in Italy. Last April, a 13-month-old boy was attacked and killed by two pit bulls in Campolongo near the southern Italian city of Salerno. The dogs belonged to a friend of the toddler's mother, who was injured.
In February 2024, a jogger was attacked and killed by three Rottweilers during a run near Rome. The 39-year-old man was mauled to death by the dogs in a park in the small Italian town of Manziana. In 2017, a one-year-old girl was mauled to death by two pit bulls. Several members of parliament are calling for a ban on breeding and selling pit bulls.
