Arezzo authorities investigate homicide and nursery death
Authorities in Arezzo are conducting two separate investigations following tragic deaths in the Bibbiena area.
In one case, Maria Ricci is under investigation for the homicide of her 70-year-old husband, Giancarlo Bernardini. Mr. Bernardini died in September after sustaining a severe leg wound that caused massive bleeding. Investigators have seized mobile phones and knives from the residence to determine if the injury was an accident or a criminal act.
In a second case, the Arezzo Prosecutor's Office has concluded its investigation into the death of two-year-old Leo Ricci, who died in November 2025 at the ‘Ambarabà Ciccì Coccò’ nursery in Soci. Six women face charges of manslaughter. The investigation suggests the child suffocated after his jacket hood became caught on a tree branch in the nursery's garden. Prosecutors allege there were significant failures in risk assessment, garden safety, and required visual supervision of the children.
