In a few shots you can understand my ‘little girl’ who she was. Crazy, sincere, deep unique. Here in the United States where my wife and I are, in her school they have created a motto #LLG which translated means ‘Live Like Giorgia’. Practically everyone knew and loved her. Mery, Azzurra and all my family thank you for the affection you are giving us, I write it to you from the heart».
