To find him lifeless around 11.30am on Saturday was one of two sons. He was lying on the ground in the courtyard of his restaurant, his skull shattered by several blows with a blunt instrument. These are the few certainties related to the mysterious death of Franco Colleoni, 68, restorer from Dalmine with a passion for politics.
For the rest, the Carabinieri of Treviglio and Bergamo, coordinated by the prosecutor Fabrizio Gaverini, are working to try to clarify the contours of the bloody murder that occurred at number 36 of via Sertorio, in the Brembo neighborhood, where the victim, in the past itinerant cheese vendor, had been running the tavern for thirty years. To the carriage.

A name chosen in homage to the League, of which he had been a proud supporter at the time of Umberto Bossi, who has often gone to dinner at his restaurant where, on the walls, there are historical posters of the party. Between the late 1990s and early 2000s, Colleoni was also a member of the federal council and from 1999 to 2004 a provincial secretary.
In the previous four years he had held the position of provincial councilor for Agriculture with responsibility for hunting and fishing on the then president’s council. Giovanni cappelluzzo: “I remember him fondly, even as a friend -his words- but above all for the seriousness and dedication with which he had fulfilled his mission.” Among his political commitments also that of councilor with the former mayor of Dalmine, Antonio Bramani, father of the current mayor Francesco.
The researchers are not unbalanced and they are not excluding any leads. The privileged one of the moment seems to be the robbery in the house that ended badly. The 68-year-old man lived in an apartment adjacent to the restaurant, in a part of the country house that he had shared with his two children and his ex-wife. The man may have surprised thieves inside his house, found in disorder, who later shot him dead. It is unclear if anything was stolen.
But by virtue of the restrictions of the law, with the closure of the activities, and by the time in which the event occurred, the hypothesis is not entirely convincing. During these hours, the images from the surveillance cameras in the area are also being analyzed, which could provide useful elements for the investigations.
Despite the weather and the fairly inhabited area, none of the neighbors, who speak of a fairly safe place, would have heard noises or screams coming from the courtyard of the farmhouse, separated from the road by a wall more than two meters high.
After the crime, the man’s relatives were listened to for a long time. It seems that one of the two sons, Federico, had quit his job in the kitchen of his father’s restaurant a few years ago due to some disagreements with him.
Mystery also about the weapon used to kill. Some objects were found near the corpse, but an autopsy, scheduled for Tuesday at the Papa Giovanni hospital in Bergamo, will be needed to establish with certainty which one was used.
The investigator is trying to dig into the victim’s past. In addition to his activity as a restaurateur and political positions, Colleoni was a lover of ships and boats. Years ago he owned a large one that he rented for cruises. He was then involved, in the early 2000s, in a legal abuse case following a complaint by a Northern League supporter.
In recent years Colleoni had moved away from the League, in conjunction with the new course of Matteo salvini, who wanted to greet him anyway: “I remember Franco Colleoni with esteem and affection, with him I shared years of battles, defeats and victories. I remember lunches and dinners at his restaurant in Dalmine. A prayer for him, a condolence for his loved ones ”. Recently, it even seems to have turned to the 5 Star Movement.
The attorney general Antonio Chiappani maintains the maximum confidentiality in this regard, explaining only that “at this time there are no people detained and we are working at 360 degrees.”
