A woman in Quarto was allegedly beaten by her former partner inside her home and was saved by the intervention of her children, according to a report published by Il Mattino on 9 November 2026 by Petronilla Carillo.
According to the account attributed to the couple's son, the man allegedly pulled the woman by her hair, punched her, and attempted to strangle her. During the attack, the woman locked herself in a bathroom while her daughter went to neighbors to ask for help.
The woman was taken to hospital with bruising to her face and neck and was described as being in a state of shock.
Carabinieri arrived at the home and found the man there, the report says. He was arrested.
The report says the couple had separated about a decade earlier and that the woman had recently decided to end the relationship again.
The son also alleged that the man had previously assaulted another former partner and had stabbed a neighbor years earlier. Those allegations were attributed to the son in the report and have not been independently confirmed in the material available.
The names of the woman and the alleged attacker were not published, and the precise criminal charges and judicial status were not stated.
