A veiled awakening of sadness and dismay, that of Saturday, for the inhabitants of Torre Faro: Danilo Rando’s death threw everyone into despair because his presence was a real light beacon. Of the young man who tragically disappeared all have a beautiful memory, they describe him as a good and kind boy, full of life, courageous and altruistic to the point of choosing to give himself to others through the explained organs. A gesture of extreme love, the greatest that a human being can perform, even more if it is a young man like Danilo. Mr. Tommaso who saw him grow grows in his eyes; Friend of the grandparents whose homes are not far from the parish church overlooking the Strait, the elderly recalls his contagious solarity every time he passed with the scooter through the streets of Faro greeting everyone.
«For the village his death is a huge loss that we share with family members. But it consoles us to know that thanks to his gesture other people will live and he in them ». Among the alleys of the village, so much silence, even between those who knew him well and the family as Rosetta, the catechist who prepared him for First Communion. He talks about the family, always present at the activities of the parish community, then describes Danilo as a sweet and affectionate and remembers him when, going to the sea with his mother Caterina and his little sister Virginia, “he never wanted to get out of the water”. A boy with many passions, billiards, football; He spent the afternoons playing with friends in via Torre Nuova, where one of the merchants Paolo Calogero, joke him jokingly. He cannot speak because the voice breaks in his throat, but his post on the social page says all the affection for this boy: “Today is a sad day for the entire community of Torre Faro, but in particular for us because not seeing you playing football in front of the shop as you did every evening on the pedestrian island is truly unthinkable. I told you Danilo moves not to play in front of the shop and you, with that naive face and smiling, answered me “yes Paolo you’re right now we move”. I always want to remember you like this, cheerful and smiling while dribbled in front of my windows. Rest in peace Angelo Bello ».
Among the voices also that of an homonymous, Giovanni Rando, who had come to the knowledge of Danilo’s dad (sons of cousins) on the day of the accident: «I knew little Danilo, I saw him occasionally in the game room with the other guys; I was struck by the choice of donating the organs, it is not obvious and makes me understand how great his love for life and generosity was ». Torre Faro, all friends, are ready to accompany Danilo on the last trip: in the tailoring next to the church, t-shirts have been prepared with his photo and the writing: «You will live forever in our hearts. We will take you with us wherever we go ».
