Marco Bergamo (serial killer)

Six months later, on 26 June, 41-year-old Anna Maria Cipolletti, a junior high school teacher at "Ugo Foscolo" who was also involved in prostitution, was found near a studio on 149 Brennero Street.

On 21 March, Bergamo murdered 19-year-old Renate Troger, a blond girl from Millan, near Bressanone who, during the night, accepted a lift along Verdi Square in Bolzano.

On 6 August, he murdered 20-year-old Marika Zorzi, another prostitute from Laives, found with 28 stab wounds at the second bend of the road that leads to Monte Pozza.

The court, however, on the basis of the evident affinity with which the crimes were executed, condemned him for the five murders, which were committed by a subject who was sadistic but was also fully aware of his actions.

[3] Various theories about Bergamo's personality began to appear in local newspapers: that of a fetishist, an exhibitionist and a consumer of pornographic material with impotence problems.

At first, the Court of Assizes of Bolzano appointed Prof. Introna, director of Forensic Medicine at the University of Padua, who declared Marco Bergamo not liable for mental illness and proposed his interment in a Judicial Psychiatric Hospital.

The Court of Assizes of Bolzano in 2014, again through PM Rispoli, had returned to the case concerning Bergamo, but had to reject the request to obtain a judgment by means of an abbreviated rite.

In fact, Bergamo could not enjoy this right because it was not intended for life imprisonment, moreover, for the penal code there can be no penalty discounts in cases such as these, or with final and irrevocable sentences.

[4] At 51, while serving his sentence at the Bollate prison near Milan, Bergamo asked the hospital's director to be urgently transferred, where he was found to have a serious lung infection.
