Giugliano was born in 1962. Between 1983 and 1984 he killed women in Rome, three of them working as prostitutes. They were strangled, stabbed or shot, and there was mutilation after death in some of the cases.
Those named in the record are Thea Stroppa, fifty; Luciana Lupi, forty-five; Lucia Rosa, thirty-four; Maria Negri, fifty-one; Giuliana Meschi, thirty-one; Fernanda Renzetti Dutante, fifty-three; and Catherine Skerl, seventeen. Italian reporting called him the Wolf of Agro Romano, after the countryside outside Rome.
He was arrested in 1984, found not responsible on psychiatric grounds, and confined to a judicial psychiatric hospital rather than a prison. In 1992, in confinement, he smothered a fellow inmate with a pillow. He died in 1993.
The Italian record on this case is thin, and the figure of eight or more comes from Michael Newton's encyclopaedia rather than from any court source. Five victims are named. Because he was never tried in the ordinary sense, no evidence was tested by a defence, and the additional attributions cannot be checked.
The entry is written on the five named victims and the killing in confinement, and the higher figure is flagged as unsupported.
