The body of 30-year-old woman found earlier this month some 200 metres from the corpse of her six-month-old daughter belonged to a Russian woman named Anastasia, investigative sources said on Thursday.
An American man, Francis Kaufmann, has been arrested in Greece in relation to the deaths.
Italian investigators managed to identify the woman thanks to information obtained during a visit to Malta, where she and Kaufmann had reportedly been before arriving in Italy.
'Chi l'ha Visto', a missing-persons show on State broadcaster Rai, tracked down a woman who said she was the mother of Anastasia.
She told the show that the deceased woman was studying English in Malta and had met Kaufmann there.
