A sea of white balloons filled the horizon, along with heart-shaped, pink, and blue balloons.
Not only children and young people, but the entire community of Saviano, in the province of Naples, gathered around the Zotto family, struck by the tragedy of the explosion in their home caused by a gas leak.
Four members of a family of six died in the explosion: Vincenza Spadafora, 41, her two children, aged 6 and 4, and her paternal grandmother, Autilia Ambrosino, 79, who lived on the second floor.
The father, Antonio Zotto, 40, and his third child, 2, were injured and are currently hospitalized at Cardarelli Hospital and Santobono Hospital in Naples, respectively.
This afternoon, in the cathedral, the bishop of Nola, Monsignor Franco Marino, celebrated the funeral. The mayor of Saviano, Vincenzo Simonelli, proclaimed a day of mourning. Also present in the crowded church were the mayor of Naples and the prefect Michele Di Bari, representing the government.
"The institutions have embraced and expressed their support for this family, this community," said the Prefect of Naples, Michele di Bari, who today in Saviano attended the funeral of the four victims of the building collapse, speaking on behalf of the Government.
"Today we wish a speedy recovery to the two people hospitalized," he added, believing that the institutions will certainly accompany these people along a journey "that is one of pain and suffering but also of hope."
Metropolitan Mayor Gaetano Manfredi attended the funerals of the four victims of the collapse on Sunday, September 22. Also present at the funerals was Metropolitan Councilor Giuseppe Bencivenga, Mayor of Frattaminore, alongside other mayors of the area and the gonfalon, with a mourning band, of the Metropolitan City of Naples.
