Seventh femicide in a matter of weeks, kidnapping his ex-partner and throwing her off a viaduct.

In Italy, within just a few weeks, seven women have been killed by their former partners, marking a surge in domestic violence cases. The latest incident occurred in Florence, where 38-year-old Federico Vella allegedly kidnapped his ex-partner, 45-year-old Lorenzo Isceri, threw her off a highway overpass, and then jumped after her. Police were alerted through Isceri’s phone call but arrived too late. This case adds to a series of similar incidents across Italy, including the murder of a 72-year-old woman by her older husband, a 50-year-old Polish woman stabbed by a Tunisian man, and a 39-year-old woman killed by her ex-husband who had previously reported him for domestic abuse. These killings highlight ongoing issues of gender-based violence in Italy, despite recent legal reforms aimed at addressing such crimes.
