A one-year-old girl is dead
after being attacked by her family's two pit bulls at the
weekend at Flero, in the northern province of Brescia.
The girl's grandfather was also injured in an unsuccessful
attempt to save the child.
At the time of the attack, the girl's mother was not at home
and her father was in Germany for work.
Brescia prosecutors have opened an investigation.
The pit bulls had reportedly attacked other dogs in the area
in the past.
