Editing William Joseph Arico (section)

===Murder===
On July 11, 1979, hours after Ambrosoli met with U.S. and Italian authorities, Arico approached him outside his Milan home at Via Morozzo della Rocca 1. After confirming Ambrosoli’s identity and apologizing, Arico shot him three times in the chest with a .357 Magnum. Ambrosoli died on his doorstep. Arico fled to the U.S. the next day. The State Department and the US Embassy would have been involved in authorizing his travel (using a visa) to Italy. The U.S. Ambassador to Italy in July 1979 was [[Richard N. Gardner]].
