A 89-year-old woman has died after being attacked by two dogs late on Tuesday, having entered the yard of a private villa at Sassuolo, near Modena, local daily Il Resto del Carlino reported on Wednesday.
A child witnessed the attack.
The woman, Carla Gorzanelli, reportedly entered the yard by accident in a clear state of confusion.
She lived near to the villa and seems to have slipped out of her home without her carer noticing.
