* [[Luciano Lutring]] (30 December 1937 – 13 May 2013), known as "the submachine gun soloist" because he kept the weapon in a violin case, used that moniker as the title of his memoir ''[[Il solista del mitra]]''. He  was an Italian criminal, author, and painter who, when committing robberies, worked alone (which is rare for a robber).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://milano.corriere.it/milano/notizie/cronaca/13_maggio_13/morto-luciano-lutring-solista-mitra-poeta-pittore-2121108754360.shtml|title=Morto Luciano Lutring, l'ex bandito divenuto scrittore e artista|language=it-IT|access-date=2016-09-19|archive-date=2016-10-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161021064040/http://milano.corriere.it/milano/notizie/cronaca/13_maggio_13/morto-luciano-lutring-solista-mitra-poeta-pittore-2121108754360.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref>
