=== [[Circeo murder|The massacre of the Circeo]] ===
On the 29th September 1975, Izzo, [[Gianni Guido|Guido]] and [[Andrea Ghira|Ghira]] met at 4:00 p.m. with Donatella Colasanti and Rosaria Lopez, two girls who had met a few days earlier through a mutual friend. The two were invited to Circeo, in the villa of [[Andrea Ghira|Ghira]], in the locality of "Punta Rossa".

Once they reached their destination, they were raped, drugged, tortured and massacred for a total of thirty-five hours. Lopez was eventually taken to the bathroom on the first floor of the villa, where she was beaten and drowned in the bathtub, while Colasanti was nearly strangled with a belt and savagely beaten. The two girls were then hidden in the trunk of the car of [[Gianni Guido|Guido]]'s father and then went to have dinner. The lamentations of Colasanti, a survivor of the violence, attracted the attention of a night watchman who gave the alarm: Izzo and [[Gianni Guido|Guido]] were arrested within a few hours while [[Andrea Ghira|Ghira]] went into hiding.

On the 29th July 1976, all three were sentenced to life imprisonment in the first degree. The sentence was also confirmed in the subsequent degrees of trial for Izzo and [[Andrea Ghira|Ghira]], while [[Gianni Guido|Guido]] was granted the general extenuating circumstances on appeal, thus reducing the sentence to thirty years.
