Tragedy in Stuttgart , Germany, where two Italian restaurateurs were found dead in the cellar of a restaurant.

According to reports from the local press, the two would have died of cuts and it is not excluded that it may be the result of a ferocious quarrel , which led them to be injured with knives or pieces of glass. However, the investigations are also open to other scenarios.
