Biography
Andrea Pignani was born in 1987. His father, a security guard, died in November 2020; Pignani received his father's Beretta 7.65. His mother, who lived with him, described her son as "had been unemployed for some time, he was alone, isolated. He had no friends and he didn’t care." He repeatedly threatened neighbors, even with a gun. In May 2020, he threatened his mother with a knife; that day he was forced into compulsory health treatment. However, he was released the following day with no follow-ups ever taking place.

Shooting and death
On June 13, 2021, sometime in the late morning, Pignani got into a heated argument with Domenico Fusinato. Later, after Domenico left, Pignani returned with his father's old service gun and shot and killed Domenico's two young sons and father-in-law, who was riding over on a bicycle. Pignani quickly returned to his villa and barricaded himself inside. After authorities arrived, they tried negotiating for three hours before finally heading inside. There, they found Pignani dead by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
