=== The massacre of the Circeo ===

On 29 September 1975, Izzo, Guido and 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 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 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 Guido were arrested within a few hours while Ghira went into hiding. On 29 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 Ghira, while Guido was granted the general extenuating circumstances on appeal, thus reducing the sentence to thirty years.

After being detetend, Izzo tried several times to escape. In January 1977, he tried to escape from Latina prison together with Guido, taking the warrant officer of the prison guards hostage, but the attempt was unsuccessful. In January 1986, he was credited with an attempt to escape from the Paliano super prison. On August 25th 1993,  he left the prison in Alexandria and managed to expatriate to France. He was then captured in Paris in mid-September and extradited to Italy.

In December 2004, he obtained semi-release from the Campobasso prison, at the behest of the Palermo judges, to go to work in the "Città futura" cooperative. On 28 April 2005, Izzo killed Maria Carmela and Valentina Maiorano, at the time under protection in Ferrazzano and respectively wife and daughter of Giovanni Maiorano, former affiliate of the [[Sacra Corona Unita]], whom Izzo met in prison . The crime was revealed on April 30 by Guido Palladino and Luca Palaia, initially arrested for illicit arms trafficking. The granting of semi-release was the cause of a controversy between the Surveillance Courts of Campobasso and Palermo, which accused each other of the paternity of this decision. Then, Izzo was sentenced to life imprisonment again, with a sentence confirmed in the two successive stages of trial.

Other trials realating to the massacre of Ferrazano were made. The first trial was based on a libel complaint filed by Giovanni Maiorano, with whom Izzo claimed  that he had had sexual relations. Izzo was sentenced in the first instance to pay 2,300 euros, but on 29 September 2011 he was acquitted "because the fact does not constitute a crime". The second trial concerned alleged false attestations, relating to the employment relationship that allowed Izzo to leave prison on a semi-release basis: the first degree trial ended with a sentence of one year and six months of imprisonment, but was acquitted on appeal, together with the then director of the cooperative Dario Saccomani.

In November 2009, the journalist Donatella Papi declared that she wanted to marry Izzo and to fight for the reopening of the two trials that led him to life imprisonment. The two married on 10 March 2010 in the Velletri prison. The relationship seemed to have ended after about a year: the journalist said that Izzo had confided to her that he was responsible "for other very serious facts for our Republic", adding that "I stop here, because I don't want to be an accomplice to things that I don't agree with". However, on the occasion of the acquittal in the libel trial of the two Ferrazzano victims, Papi declared that the crisis between the two had subsided.
