Federica Torzullo’s Body Found at Husband’s Work Site, Husband Held in Custody

Formal identification awaits DNA testing at La Sapienza.

Overview

  • Carabinieri recovered a buried body during targeted excavations at the Carlomagno earthmoving company in Anguillara Sabazia on January 18, with relatives recognizing clothing and bracelets as Torzullo’s.
  • Claudio Agostino Carlomagno was detained after the discovery and transferred to Civitavecchia prison, with an interrogation before a judge expected in the coming days.
  • Investigators reported copious blood traces in the couple’s home, on the husband’s work clothes, in his car, on a company machine, and in a nearby quarry.
  • Surveillance footage and phone data indicate Torzullo returned home around 7:30 p.m. on January 8 and did not leave, while her husband left the house the next morning for work.
  • Prosecutors say DNA comparison and an autopsy remain pending as they examine possible motive and any additional responsibilities, and they have appealed for witnesses to contact the Carabinieri.
