A football fan has died from a gunshot wound to the head during fighting between rival supporters in Italy.
The violence broke out between fans of Roman team Lazio and Turin-based Juventus at a motorway restaurant near Arezzo in Tuscany.

Reports say the victim, a Lazio fan, may have been shot by a stray police bullet. An investigation is under way.

The Lazio fans were travelling to a match against Inter Milan, which has been suspended following the death.

Other games were starting 10 minutes late with players and officials wearing black armbands.

The Juventus fans were reportedly on their way from Naples to an away match against Parma.

News of the violence apparently sparked clashes between fans and police in Bergamo, where Atalanta were playing Juventus.

Prime Minister Romano Prodi said the episode was "very worrying". In April his government introduced a law aimed at stamping out football hooliganism.

It was enacted after a policeman was killed in rioting at a match in Sicily in February.
