ROME — Italian authorities on Monday were investigating the disappearance of a Wisconsin student in Rome a day after he arrived in the Italian capital. He says the U.S. institution is in contact with Italian authorities, the U.S. Embassy and the student’s home school, the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Cabot University President Franco Pavoncello told the AP Monday the family of 19-year-old Beau Solomon has arrived in Italy. In 2012, a U.S. student was allegedly stabbed by his roommate, a fellow student at John Cabot University, after what police said was a night of alcohol and possible drug use and Halloween partying. Solomon is from Spring Green and UW-Madison said he had just completed his first year as a personal finance major.
