Maurizio Minghella (born 16 July 1958) is an Italian serial killer, sentenced to life in prison for the murders of ten sex workers in Turin between 1997 and 2001 when he was on parole for killing five women in his hometown in 1978.

Leaving school, he began to do small jobs including being a tiler, even though he often stole scooters, motorbikes and cars on the roads of Val Polcevera and the surrounding areas.

Minghella also tried to misdirect the investigation by writing "Bricato Rose" instead of "Brigate Rosse" on the body, committing a spelling error which was immediately noticed by the police.

On 18 July, he killed 14-year-old Maria Catena "Tina" Alba, whose naked body was found in Valbrevenna the next day, tied with a garrote to a tree.

On 22 August, after a night at the disco, he killed 21-year-old Maria Strambelli, a saleswoman from Bari, whose body was found 3 days after her disappearance in the outskirts of Genoa.

On 3 April 1981, he was sentenced by the Assizes court of Genoa to life imprisonment for five homicides, which was to be served at the maximum security prison in Porto Azzurro.

In March 1997, Minghella killed 53-year-old sex worker Loredana Maccario in a woman's home in the Turin neighbourhood of San Salvario.

On 30 January 1999, he strangled 73-year-old sex worker Cosima "Gina" Guido, from Taranto, with a scarf, in her apartment in the centre of Turin.

He was transferred to the Biella prison, and on the morning of 2 January 2003, he was hospitalized for chest and arm pain in the town's emergency room, managing to escape through a bath.

In March 2017, the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation condemned Minghella to thirty years of jail for the murder of Floreta Islami.
