The bishop of Caserta, Monsignor Peter Lagnese who officiated the funeral in the church of the Holy Spirit in San Marco Evangelista: “Forgive us Gennaro, we are all guilty. Forgive us, the blood shed by Gennaro must not be in vain. Pointing the finger only at the guilty would be hypocritical. It is right to ask ourselves if we have done our part”.
Next to the bishop were Don Ferdinando Latino, Don Joseph DiBernardo and don Maurice Patriciello, arrived from Caivano, the city of Gabriel, Genny's peer who put an end to a life with that blow, ruining another forever.

"The culprit cannot be just one person, it would be too hypocritical. There are many of us who are guilty. When things like this happen, perhaps the most correct attitude is to ask ourselves if we have done our part". The bishop of Caserta said Peter Lagnese.
The church was full, the participation of the city community was great and it gathered around the young man and his family: friends of the 18 year old were standing in front of the altar, almost surrounding the coffin, and they were wearing a white t-shirt with Gennaro's photo printed on the chest, while on the coffin, to remember the great passion of the victim for sport, a boxing suit had been placed. Great emotion but also composure.

“Gennaro's blood must not fall in vain but must give birth to young people who say no to violence, bullying, indifference. Who say no to the idea of walking with a knife in their pocket”, concluded the bishop.
The Mayor of San Marco Evangelista Gabriel Cicada, at the end of the mass, from the altar he announced that “the Municipality will constitute itself as a civil party, and not out of a sense of revenge, but for justice and so that these things never happen again”. The mayor of Caserta was also present at the funeral Charles Marino, who has proclaimed a day of mourning for today, as Cicala did, and a representative of the Municipality of Caivano, a town in the Naples area where the 19-year-old GI, in prison for the murder of Gennaro, resides.
As the coffin came out, there was applause from those present while friends released white balloons into the air.
