There are the sisters of the San Giuseppe college, with the head of the house, Sister Maddalena, the first to arrive immediately after the tragedy on the shores of the lake. Before the Greek Orthodox mass begins, it is Bishop Pizziolo who speaks. “Death is always a great mystery, it causes pain and suffering, but it is especially so when an innocent boy or girl dies,” said the prelate. “I am close to all of you, in particular, to the mother, to the grandmother, the family, the Ukrainian community that lives this moment with great pain and suffering ».
Igor, the grandfather of little Mariia on the sidelines of the ceremony said: “We want to shed light on the tragedy, if there are doubts we will do a second autopsy in Mariia, Ukraine”.
