July 16, 1958 - Maurizio Minghella
What distinguishes Minghella's case is the institutional dimension: the ten murders in Turin occurred while he was on parole, meaning authorities had already documented his capacity for lethal violence against women before the later killings began. His targets across both periods were vulnerable women, and the span of his crimes — separated by imprisonment yet resuming with the same pattern — reflects a continuity that made him one of Italy's more studied serial offenders of the late twentieth century.
