Francesco Bruno

"(About q:it:Angelo Izzo) The meritorious law should apply to those of sound mind. In 1980, I said that he would kill again and that he had to be prevented from doing so. Then he pretended to repent, making delusional statements. Because of him, we may have two more victims, who died like those in Circeo."

"The Monster of Florence is still alive and his human trophies are in a house"

"The identikit [of the Monster of Florence] was that of a person of good socio-cultural standing, unlike Pacciani, who was a farmer, uncouth, uneducated, intelligent, cunning but certainly not of high standing, or of average socio-cultural standing."

"The monster is a man of remarkable intelligence and culture, of remarkable ability, who may also have done something to throw investigators off the trail."

"I knew Pacciani personally, I was his defence counsel, and I will never believe that Pacciani is guilty."
