Nicola Musiani died at the Cesena hospital 3 days after a brutal beating in the square of Viale Tritone in Pinarella di Cervia on July 19. He lived there, inside his camper. The 17-year-old was arrested on September 3.

According to the prosecutor, the first spark ignited around 11:30 p.m. on July 18: the 17-year-old – about to enter a local nightclub – approached Musiani without any reason and called him a “junkie,” thus triggering the first argument. Then at 4 a.m., leaving the club, the 17-year-old, holding a bottle, came back at the 53-year-old . Backing him up, other young people mostly got out of a Fiat Punto. Cells, testimonies, identifications, and three videos (two made with cell phones and one from a truck dash cam in the parking lot) allowed the Carabinieri – coordinated by prosecutor Angela Scorza – to also identify the 17-year-old, who was then transferred to the juvenile prosecutor’s office. The young man must also answer for the damages inflicted on the seasonal worker’s camper (a 50-year-old from Cesena) who was with Musiani that night. And for attempted injuries against him for trying to get him out of the vehicle to beat him as well.
