Italy football fan dies in fight | |
(40 minutes later) | |
A football fan has died during fighting between rival supporters in northern Italy, police say. | |
The violence broke out at a motorway restaurant near Arezzo in Tuscany. | |
The victim, a fan of Rome's Lazio, was apparently shot in a clash with supporters of Turin-based Juventus, Italy's Ansa news agency reported. | |
Prime Minister Romano Prodi said the episode was "very worrying". In April his government introduced a law aimed at stamping out football hooliganism. | |
It was enacted after a policeman was killed in rioting at a match in Sicily in February. | |
Lazio and Juventus were not due to play against each other on Sunday. | |
