The mayor’s emotion
“Today our community is deeply shaken by a tragedy that no one would have ever wanted to talk about. In a terrible accident, a couple Lucia and Salvatore and a splendid boy Domenico lost their lives. In moments like this, words seem not to be enough. We rally with affection around their children and family members, with the hope that the solidarity and love of the community can help them face this immense pain. Fly high, beautiful angels”, he commented the mayor of Serra, Alfredo Barillari.
