Luigi Chiatti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luigi Chiatti (b. February 27, 1968) is an Italian serial killer.

He was born Antonio Rossi from a 24-year-old single mother, Maria Rossi, a waitress in a restaurant. Just after he was born, his mother gave him to an orphanage run by the nuns in Narni, Umbria. At the age of six, he was adopted by Ermanno Chiatti and Giacoma Ponti, a wealthy family from Foligno.

He was arrested for the murder of Lorenzo Paolucci, 13, on August 8, 1993. He confessed to be the so-called "Monster of Foligno" who had already killed four-year-old Simone Allegretti, on October 4, 1992.

He is still detained in Spoleto high-security prison, and is serving a sentence of 30 years.
