The son of a renowned architect has been arrested in Rome in connection with the brutal murder of his mother.
Massimiliano Quaroni, son of Ludovico Quaroni, faces charges that he killed his mother, Gabriella Esposito, by cutting her veins and letting her bleed to death.
Italian police interviewed Quaroni, 33, after his mother was found dead in her flat in Rome with cuts to her wrist and a wound to her head.
Ludovico Quaroni, who died in 1987, was one of the masters of post-war, contemporary Italian architecture. Among his best known works in Rome are the Termini railway station and the Opera theatre.
