Overview
- The couple, Franco Giorgi, 74, and Gianna Di Nardo, 68, were discovered by their son around 2:30 p.m. Sunday in their Florence apartment on Via Giampaolo Orsini.
- Prosecutors say the leading hypothesis is that Giorgi killed his wife and then himself, though investigators have not reached a definitive conclusion.
- A knife matching the stab wounds was seized, and investigators documented extensive blood traces across multiple rooms of the home.
- No signs of forced entry or missing valuables were found, yet the possibility of third-party involvement remains under review with CCTV footage being collected.
- Autopsies at the Institute of Legal Medicine in Careggi are pending, as the magistrate Alessandro Piscitelli and the carabinieri proceed with forensic work and interviews, with relatives citing Giorgi’s recent psychological fragility as a non-decisive factor.
