British vacationers witnessed a terrifying incident during their peaceful meal when armed individuals attacked a restaurant in Italy, resulting in the fatal shooting of an innocent waiter named Angelo Pizzi, also known as Lino. The tragic event occurred at Spaghetteria n.1 in Bisceglie, southern Italy, last night.

The 62-year-old head waiter, Mr. Pizzi, was tragically killed on the spot. Authorities believe his murder was a case of mistaken identity and are investigating it as a targeted mafia-style attack, led by the Direzione Distrettuale Antimafia (DDA) organized crime agency.

Eyewitnesses reported that two masked gunmen entered the restaurant during dinner service, causing chaos by firing approximately 15 shots rapidly. It is suspected that the intended target was the restaurant owner, a man with a criminal history who was present during the attack.

Mr. Pizzi, described as a hardworking and respectable family man in the local community, was an unintended victim caught in the crossfire. Among the shocked diners who witnessed the tragic scene were British tourists.

Investigations are ongoing, with forensic teams examining the crime scene and reviewing CCTV footage for evidence. Despite no arrests being made yet, authorities are urging unity and justice in the face of this tragedy. Witness statements are being gathered, though the exact number of customers present during the attack remains uncertain.

Prosecutors are exploring potential links between this incident and another recent murder in Bisceglie, where Filippo Scavo, associated with the Strisciuglio clan, was killed at the Divine Club on April 19. Police are investigating any connections between these violent events, which occurred within a short timeframe.

Italian authorities continue to review CCTV footage and interview witnesses, including shaken British nationals who were dining nearby. The restaurant remains closed as investigations progress.
