The 69-year-old Sardinian man tried on charges of attempted murder was acquitted in the Padua area. Salvatore Corda, originally from Cagliari, was arrested and then arrested. The position of his lawyers has always been the same: it was a case of self-defense against a man holding an axe.

The pensioner, who lives with his family in Torreselle, had said that he had tried to protect his wife when he found himself confronted by his neighbour, who was drunk and with whom relations had been strained for some time, accompanied by a series of mutual complaints, and had beaten him . The person attacked, a 51-year-old originally from Romania, ended up in hospital.

Now acquittal has arrived for Corda.
