“Today we remember Giuseppe Girolamo, a silent hero who, on the day of the tragic shipwreck of the Costa Concordia, gave up his seat on the lifeboat to save other lives, not knowing how to swim and aware of what this choice would have meant for him.
We honor his memory, already awarded the gold medal for civil valor, as an example of altruism and courage. Let’s not forget.” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote this in X on the anniversary of the Costa Concordia shipwreck.

Everyone on the island of Giglio opened the doors of their homes to help the shipwrecked people of the Costa Concordia, an extraordinary solidarity that gave rise to one of the largest rescue operations in history. All of Tuscany is united in the memory of that terrible night”. The president of Tuscany, Eugenio Giani, wrote this on social media on the anniversary of the shipwreck of the Costa Concordia ship on the island of Giglio (Grosseto).
