Video of the incident shows a hooded man approaching the victim, 45-year-old Marcello Cimino, as he slept under a blanket in a porch next to a soup kitchen.
Locals reportedly heard the victim screaming but he succumbed to his injuries by the time emergency services arrived at the scene.
According to La Repubblica, a suspect identified as Giuseppe Pecoraro, also 45, has confessed to the murder. Pecoraro, who police say worked at a gas station, reportedly believed the victim had been having an affair with the woman he was seeing.
