SUMMARY:WA Branch Seminar: Echoes of Fear - The Monsters of Florence and their Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Between 1874 and 1985\, seven couples were brutally murdered around Florence\, Italy. The investigations led to a life sentence for Pietro Pacciani in 1994. However\, the prosecutor did not believe in the solitary serial killer theory\, and reopened the investigations. A few accomplices of Pacciani were in fact convicted\, but when he died under mysterious circumstances\, no further investigations were deemed necessary despite contrary evidence. In this seminar\, Michele Giuttari will summarize the complete history of the investigations\, integrated with first-hand experience. \nMichele Giuttari was born in Sicily and\, after obtaining a law degree\, joined the State Police and worked in Calabria\, Napoli and Firenze investigating the Mafia and other dangerous offenders. As Head of Florence Police between 1995 and 2003\, he re-opened the Monsters of Florence case leading to the identification and ultimate conviction of additional perpetrators. Since 1997\, Michele has been a writer\, gaining international success and winning several literary awards. \nThis is an online only event and\, due to the nature of the content\, is recommended for a professional and academic forensic audience. Discretion is advised for registrants. \nPlease note: the event will consist of a pre-recorded video presentation from Michele Giuttari\, followed by live Q&A with Michele. Registrants will be forwarded a Zoom link prior to the event.
