Spanish Quarters Apologize to Chiara Jaconis, Torchlight Procession tonight

Naples. Bouquets of flowers, messages, Tickets of excuses, candles and then the posters funerals. The Spanish Quarters and not only, the entire city of Naples feels affected by the absurd death of Chiara Jaconis.

The 30-year-old tourist from Padua who was visiting the city with her boyfriend on Sunday afternoon was hit by pieces of a heavy vase that fell from a balcony of the building at number 4, via Sant'Anna di Palazzo.

Throughout the day yesterday, since the news of the death of the young woman, resident in Paris, where she worked in the fashion world, spread, there was a continuous stream of people who spontaneously wanted to bear witness to the pain and sorrow of Naples.

And so first a bouquet of flowers laid by a lady, followed by a white rose. A card with the words "Sorry Chiara" and then a white T-shirt with the words “Clear daughter of Naples”, with a heart drawn and again “Chiara beautiful angel, rest in peace, we of the Spanish Quarter apologize.” The intersection between Via Sant'Anna di Palazzo and Via Santa Teresella degli Spagnoli was a constant coming and going of people throughout the day yesterday.

Tonight at 19 pm a torchlight procession has been organized in the Spanish Quarters.

A sign of solidarity, condolences and sharing in the pain while investigations continue to understand how and why that murderous vase fell.
