Cospito, 55, is serving time for shooting the boss of an energy company in the leg in 2012, and in connection to a 2006 bomb attack on a police academy in Fossano, a town in Piedmont, which caused no injuries, as well as other non-fatal attacks.Photograph: Cecilia Fabiano/Rex/Shutterstock Cospito is continuing his hunger strike in a quest to improve conditions in 41-bis, according to Michele Usuelli, a doctor and regional councillor in Lombardy with the small leftwing party +Europa, who visited him in the clinic of the Opera prison. Prisoners in the regime are banned from reading and have access only to three national radio stations. Cospito was prevented from keeping a photo of his late parents in his cell.
