Luciano was a scuba diver. He went out spearfishing with his 19-year-old son and a friend one mile off the coast, near the island of Elba. He was in about 75 ft. of water when he encountered a 20 ft. Great White shark that attacked and killed him. "I clearly saw my father in the mouth of the shark," his son, Gianluca, later said. Three days later, a dive team searching with an underwater camera found only flippers, a weight belt, and two scuba tanks with tooth marks in them.
