An Italian footballer, Giovanni Padovani, allegedly beat his ex-girlfriend to death with a hammer and a baseball bat weeks after she reported him for stalking.<\/p>\n

Padovani, a model and former youth player<\/a> at Napoli, has played as a centre back for ten clubs in Italy’s Serie C and Serie D leagues.<\/p>\n

Earlier in August he signed for fourth tier Sancataldese, based in Sicily. But was absent last weekend for their opening clash of the Italian Cup, against local rivals Catania.<\/p>\n

27-year-old Padovani, allegedly left his team on the eve of a cup tie and flew to Bologna to lie in wait for his 56-year-old lover Alessandra Matteuzzi.<\/p>\n

According to police, as she arrived home he then ambushed her in the lobby of her apartment building.<\/p>\n

She was on the phone with her sister Stefania who heard her agonizing screams as she was being attacked.<\/p>\n

The sister told a local TV station: “She got out of her car and started screaming, ‘No Giovanni, no, I beg you, help.’<\/p>\n

“I was on the phone. I immediately called the Carabinieri who arrived straight away.<\/p>\n

“I live 30km away. In the end he beat her to death<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Alessandra and her younger lover had been a couple for around a year, according to reports in Italy.<\/p>\n

However they spent most of their time apart as she lived in Bologna and he played his football in Sicily.<\/p>\n

In January there was a bust-up at her home when he smashed dishes and a light bulb, her sister claimed.<\/p>\n

After they split he allegedly bombarded her with messages and calls at all hours.<\/p>\n

On previous occasions he had sabotaged her car, disconnected her meter from the outside, and tried to climb up to her balcony, residents said before she reported him to police for stalking, according to police allegations.<\/p>\n

One neighbour told local Sicily media: “She was very afraid of him because he had become persistent and she didn’t want to let him in the house”.<\/p>\n

Another neighbour said Sandra had asked her not to open the door if Padovani rang the buzzer to get into the building.<\/p>\n

On Friday, August 26, Italian Justice minister Marta Cartabia sent inspectors to review the actions of Bologna cops following Alessandra’s complaint.<\/p>\n

Bologna Chief Prosecutor Giuseppe Amato denied accusations of judicial negligence in the case, reports news agency Ansa.<\/p>\n

He said a probe was immediately launched after the complaint was registered on August 1, but the investigation could not conclude until next week because witnesses were on holiday.<\/p>\n

“We did what we could,” he said, adding the stalking report did not highlight “situations of a concrete risk of violence, it was just the typical conduct of bothersome stalking”.<\/p>\n

Sancataldese club lawyer Salvatore Pirrello said Padovani had left the team’s training retreat last Saturday saying he had personal problems.<\/p>\n

He phoned the club asking to rejoin the team on Monday but was told to stay away, reports Corriere della Sera.<\/p>\n

He then flew to Bologna in northern Italy, where he allegedly ambushed his ex on Tuesday this week.<\/p>\n

After Alessandra died in hospital of massive head injuries, Padovani was arrested on suspicion of aggravated murder and is being held in custody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
