Alessandro Grando, the mayor of Ladispoli, near Rome, had told residents to stay at home on Saturday while police and circus staff sought to catch the animal. In a Facebook post at around 10.30pm local time (9.30pm GMT), more than five hours after his original message raising the alarm, Grando said the lion had been “sedated and captured”.
