Overview
- Investigators say Lorena Isceri was seized by her ex, assaulted in her garage, bound and confined in the boot of her car before being thrown from the A1 viaduct on September 3 after a roughly 20‑minute 112 call.
- Preliminary autopsy and CT results at Careggi indicate Isceri was alive at the moment of the fall and that her injuries are compatible with a fall of about 25 metres, while further analyses must determine which wounds preceded the drop.
- The Florence prosecutor has opened an inquiry for premeditated femicide and aggravated kidnapping and has seized the vehicle, the garage and multiple phones for forensic copying to reconstruct messages, locations and timing.
- Federico Vella died by suicide from the same viaduct after a police intervention and his body and Isceri’s have been ordered for toxicology tests, with all definitive medico‑legal reports expected within roughly 90 days.
- Family members report a recent escalation of threats and violence in the relationship and have called for justice and better protections for women, a demand that enters public debate as the investigation proceeds.
