Two victims were found on the road outside a hotel, while the third victim died from their injuries in hospital.
The 69-year-old gunman reportedly shot and killed his ex-wife's partner, 48, and her 63-year-old mum, who was a Ukrainian national.
He then reportedly chased and shot his ex-wife, 42, who was also of Ukrainian origin.
She is currently at the Rizzolo hospital in Lacco Ameno.
The attacker was also rushed to hospital after he turned the gun on himself, and died later.
The shocking attack took place on Saturday at around 6:30pm on the island of Ischia in the Cuotto area in Forio.
Local cops said the area is still cordoned off while they continue to investigate the circumstances of the attack.
State police and volunteers are helping with the investigation.
The shocking attack comes after a shooting left a mobster's niece dead in a nightclub as part of a suspected mafia war last year.
Antonia Lopez, 19, was reportedly killed as scores were being settled between gangs involved in drug trafficking and extortion.
Man, 50, killed in drive-by shooting outside petrol station as cops release CCTV in hunt for car 'with false plates'
The young woman was gunned down at Bahia nightclub in Puglia, Italy, as Michele Lavopa, 21, allegedly sought to kill a different man - Eugenio Palermiti, 21.
Lavopa handed himself into police after his mother convinced him to and confessed, La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno reported.
He has now been charged with voluntary homicide, quadruple attempted homicide, and possession and carrying of a firearm.
The three involved were all scions of different criminal gangs, with Lopez pals with target Palermiti.
And in 2021, two young brothers were killed by a crazed shooter, with the boys holding their father's hand as they died.
David and Daniel Fusinato, aged five and 10, were shot while playing in the street in the Italian town Ardea, near Rome.
Their grandmother, Sonia di Gennaro, said the boys' dad - Domenico - was with them until the very end.
She told Italian newspaper La Stampa: "They died holding their father's hand.
"The ambulance arrived too late, it took half an hour."

Young child among 3 dead, 17 hurt in Russian airstrike on Kharkiv
A Russian air attack overnight on a residential area in Kharkiv has killed three people, including a toddler, and injured 17, Ukrainian authorities have said, as the United States presses Kyiv to take a quick deal to end a war Moscow started. A drone attack killed the two-year-old boy in Ukraine's second-largest city early this morning, after a ballistic missile strike the previous night, Oleh Synehubov, the governor of the wider Kharkiv region, said on messaging app Telegram. The number of the injured from the Kharkiv attack was "continuously increasing", Mr Synehubov added. Also on Telegram, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said two more were killed and 17 injured in both attacks, among them six children aged from six to 17. "A woman has just been rescued from under the rubble: she is alive," Mr Terekhov said in a post early this morning, warning that more might be trapped under the rubble. Kharkiv, in northeastern Ukraine near the border with Russia, has been the target of regular Russian drone and missile attacks since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. The earlier ballistic missile strike on the city shattered about 1,000 windows, Mr Synehubov said. Some residents had to be evacuated, Ukraine's state emergency service said on Telegram. Reuters witnesses saw medics attending to residents on a street and rescuers inspecting damage in residential buildings. Two people were injured in Russia's strikes on the adjacent region of Sumy that also damaged at least a dozen homes and an educational institution, authorities said. "The enemy continues to deliberately target civilian infrastructure in the Sumy region — treacherously, at night," Oleh Hryhorov, the head of the regional administration, said on Telegram. Reuters could not independently verify the weapons used by Russia. There was no immediate comment from Moscow. Both sides deny targeting civilians in their strikes, but thousands of people have died, the vast majority of them Ukrainian. US President Donald Trump, who hosted President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday for talks aimed at ending the war, has urged Kyiv to make a deal with Moscow, stating, "Russia is a very big power, and they're not." 20 dead in fire at Russian factory The death toll from an unexplained blast last week at a production facility in Russia's Ryazan region has jumped to at least 20 dead with another 134people injured, local emergency services have said. Pavel Malkov, governor of the Ryazan region that lies just southeast of Moscow, said on Friday that the incident had been triggered by a fire breaking out inside a workshop at the factory. But it was unclear from Russian media reports what caused the fire or what exactly the factory was producing. Official Russian sources gave no details beyond efforts to find and treat the injured. "As of August 18, 20 people died as a result of the emergency incident," the local emergency service headquarters said in a post on Telegram. "There are 134 injured, of which 31 patients are in hospitals in Ryazan and Moscow, while 103 patients are undergoing outpatient treatment."

Putin general, 57, ‘has arm and leg amputated' as he fights for life after Ukrainian strike on Russian column in Kursk
A TOP Putin general is fighting for his life after a brutal Ukrainian strike blew up a Russian column in Kursk – reportedly leaving him with devastating injuries and multiple amputations. Lt-Gen Esedulla Abachev, 57, was hit on the Rylsk–Khomutovka highway in the Kursk region early on Saturday, according to Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR). 7 Russian Lt-Gen Esedulla Abachev was severely injured in a Ukrainian strike in Kursk Credit: East2West 7 The 57-year-old general reportedly had an arm and a leg amputated Credit: East2West 7 He was airlifted to a Moscow hospital and is fighting for his life Credit: East2West The decorated officer – deputy commander of Russia's North Group of Forces – was urgently airlifted to the Vishnevsky Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow where surgeons amputated an arm and a leg, the Kyiv Post reported. A pro-Moscow source admitted: 'He is alive, but in serious condition [after] traumatic amputation of the arm and part of the leg.' Ukrainian forces also blew up an ammo depot in occupied Melitopol a day earlier, killing marines and fighters from Ramzan Kadyrov's notorious 'Akhmat-Vostok' Chechen unit. HUR gloated: 'There will be just retribution for every war crime against the Ukrainian people.' Bloody track record Abachev has been at the heart of nearly every Kremlin war in recent decades. He graduated from the Kharkiv Higher Tank Command School in 1989 before fighting in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, the Second Chechen War, Russia's 2008 invasion of Georgia, and the terror campaign in Syria. 'For each of these 'bloody feats,' Abachev was personally awarded the Order of Courage by Putin,' reported Since 2022, Abachev has played a major role in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, commanding the 2nd Army Corps of the so-called 'Luhansk People's Republic.' Ukraine cut Putin's two-pronged frontline breach in HALF in wake of Trump summit 7 Ukrainian sources accuse him of war crimes against civilians in Lysychansk. Putin himself previously decorated Abachev with the Hero of Russia – Gold Star for 'courage and heroism.' He also received an award from occupied Luhansk for his role in the bloody takeover. In August last year, amid surging Ukrainian cross-border operations, he was appointed commander of Russia's border-cover group in the Kursk direction – where he was now taken out. Humiliating blows The strike on Abachev is just the latest in a string of humiliating Ukrainian hits on Putin's top brass. Maj. Gen. Mikhail Gudkov – Russia's Deputy Navy Chief and another Hero of Russia – was killed in July during a suspected HIMARS strike on a command post in Kursk. In April, Gen. Yaroslav Moskalik was eliminated near Moscow. 7 This attack is part of Ukraine's strategy to target senior Russian commanders, aiming to weaken their military Credit: East2West 7 Abachev (left) commanded Russian forces in Ukraine and was accused of war crimes Credit: East2West 7 Abachev was previously decorated a Hero of Russia – with a Gold Star for 'courage and heroism.' Credit: East2West Ukrainian Telegram channels have already circulated footage allegedly showing the burning wrecks of the Russian convoy in Kursk after Abachev's column was smashed. The attack comes as Kremlin forces in Kursk push to seize territory across the border – with Zelensky facing mounting pressure to concede ground to Putin to secure a peace deal. Analysts say Kyiv is intensifying strikes on senior commanders to weaken Moscow's chain of command and sap morale on the frontline. Each successful hit is seen as both a psychological and tactical blow for Putin's faltering war machine.
