Three people were arrested Thursday
on suspicion of attacking Piero Longo, a university lecturer,
lawyer for ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi and ex-member of his
centre-right Forza Italia party, outside his Padua home
Wednesday night.
The three - two men and a woman - rang Longo's bell and
allegedly attacked him, police said.
He fired two pistol shots into the air to scare them off.
It was the suspected aggressors who called the police, citing
Longo for armed threats.
The three may be charged with aggravated bodily harm, police
said.
The incident took place at about 23:30.
