An Italian man has been killed in his home in Tunisia, at Sousse, Italian foreign ministry sources said Wednesday.
The man, a 73-year-old from the Marche region resident in Italy but with a holiday property in the North African country, was attacked and his car and cell phone were stolen, sources who knew the victim, a former Latin and Greek professor, told ANSA.
The dynamics of the attack are still unclear.
The embassy in Tunis, in coordination with the Farnesina, foreign ministry sources said, is following the case and is providing assistance to the man's family.
The victim was later named as Paolo Corsi, originally from a town near Ascoli Piceno but resident in Rome.
