A Venice court has sentenced 22-year-old Filippo Turetta to life in prison for the brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend, Giulia Cecchettin, who was stabbed over 75 times. The case has reignited discussions in Italy about violence against women, following a rise in gender-based killings. Turetta’s actions and the societal factors contributing to such violence were highlighted during the trial, with the victim’s family calling for cultural change to combat misogyny. Giulia’s death is part of a troubling trend, with a significant percentage of homicide victims in Italy being women.
