They were hunting in a national park area where hunting is prohibited, local media said. Police seized their rifles.

On Sunday the president of the Italian League for the Defence of Animals and the Environment said Italy had become the "Wild West".

"It is a real national emergency," Michela Vittoria Brambilla said.

Last October, Sergio Costa, Italy's environment minister, called for a national ban on Sunday hunting after an 18-year-old was shot and killed close to the French border.

By the end of that month, two more men - a 56-year-old and a 20-year-old - had also died in similar circumstances.
Italian men (in particular) have a fascination for guns - Italy has one one of the highest rates of gun ownership in Europe - there may be as many as 10,000,000 firearms in circulation, legal and illegal.

Gun deaths remain relatively rare in Italy. In 2017, OPAL, Italy's observatory on guns and security, kept track of murders carried out by legally-owned weapons in Italy. According to their figures, compiled by tracking news reports, there were 36 murders using legally-owned guns last year, including 11 femicides. That was in addition to 64 suicides using legally-owned guns, 17 cases of attempted murder, and 17 fatal shootings during hunting trips.
However, Italians do not have a fundamental right to bear arms, and there are tough laws regulating both ownership and use of guns in the country.

So, given the number of weapons, many in unprofessional hands, it's not surprising that accidents happen.

Re: Man shoots dead his own father

When ever anyone gets killed hunting I always find it hard to find any sympathy. If the animal (i've heard of bears and deer) shoot the hunter I find it difficult not to cheer !

There's no way they could establish that - AFAIK, Cosa Nostra don't register their weapons .....
