ROME – Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has blamed the dean of La Sapienza University for the death of one of its students at an illegal rave. “Why did the dean of Sapienza allow illegal behaviour and not do anything?” asked Salvini, according to Il Messaggero.

 “The responsibility for this death is with those who have allowed this illegality for too long, from classroom occupations to unauthorised parties with the use and abuse of alcohol and other substances,” he went on.

ROME – Massimo Galioto, accused of the 2016 murder of 19-year-old American student Beau Solomon, has been acquitted, reported Ansa. The 44-year-old man, who lived beside the Tiber where Solomon drowned, was cleared by judges of all charges on Friday.

 The case gained notoriety because Solomon, from Wisconsin, was just 16 hours into a five-week course at John Cabot University when he was reportedly pushed into the river by Galioto.

ROME – A student from the prestigious University of Sapienza was killed after accidentally cutting a major artery while climbing over a gate into an unauthorised rave, reported Il Messaggero.

 Francesco Ginese, 26, Friday night severed the femoral artery in his thigh, the major arterial supply of blood to the leg, while climbing into the yearly “Notte Bianca” rave held at Rome’s top university, which sees thousands of young people attend each year. The native of Foggia was climbing over the boundary wall of the university from the Viale dell’Unita when he cut himself.
