MOSCOW, May 20 (RIA Novosti) - A teenager died on Wednesday after setting himself on fire in the center of the southern Italian town of Potenza, Italy's ANSA news agency said.

The boy, 15, was originally from India and had been living with his adoptive Italian parents for several years.

Police are questioning the boy's adoptive parents and friends in an attempt to find out the reason for his act of self-immolation. Preliminary media reports say he may have been upset over a romance gone wrong.
