CondannatoSommario
A 26-year-old man was stabbed to death in via dei Ghirardelli in Bergamo on 4 May 2025. The fatal attack took place below the home of the man later convicted of it, a few hundred metres from a bar in via Borgo Santa Caterina where a quarrel had begun between two small groups of young people over football allegiance. On 8 September 2026 the assize court in Bergamo sentenced the man responsible, who was 20 at the time of the killing, to eighteen years and one month in prison for striking the victim with a single knife blow that wounded him fatally. The prosecutor had asked for 24 years; the defence had argued for acquittal on the grounds of self-defence. The victim's mother, speaking after the verdict, described a difficult social climate in which young people go about armed.

- incident_date corrected from the intake value 2026-09-08 (the article's publication date) to 2025-05-04, and the slug updated to match. The Rai News piece reports a conviction, not a fresh killing; the source gives the date of the killing explicitly. victim.age_range corrected from '10-20' to 20-30: intake read the age from '18 anni', which is the sentence imposed, not anyone's age. The victim was 26.
