The young soccer player Santo Romano died defending a friend from an attack by a young criminal from Barra who fired a gun because of a dirty shoe. Just as Francesco Pio Valda (also from Barra) had done just over a year ago at the Mergellina chalets, killing the young pizza chef Francesco Pio Maimone.
All the testimonies match: those of the girlfriend Simona who spoke to the regional Tg3 and to Repubblica and those of the friends who left their testimonies to the deputy Francesco Emilio Borrelli
"He wanted to defend a friend, because the shoe he stepped on wasn't his, but a friend's. He was very keen to protect him," said Simona, Santo Romano's 17-year-old girlfriend.
Simona asked that Santo not become "just a name on a long list. Santo represents much more and must make a difference; I would like his funeral and processions to have enormous resonance, to show who he was and what he did."
"I will fight if his family doesn't succeed. I'm fighting for him, for his name. I want his name to be known and respected. Santo would have achieved so much in his life. He's an extraordinary man, raised in an equally extraordinary family."
And instead, during an inspection carried out by Francesco Emilio Borrelli and the journalist Pino Grazioli, a friend of Santo, the deceased 19-year-old, told how the events unfolded.
“This boy arrived in a car and once Santo got out, he accidentally stepped on his foot. This boy started to get angry and Santo came to call us.

But this guy immediately pulled out his gun and started shooting. Holy he was hit in the abdomen, another boy in the elbow and a bullet grazed a third friend of ours. We immediately took him to the hospital but unfortunately there was nothing we could do”.
Meanwhile, for tomorrow, Sunday, November 3, the parish priest of San Sebastiano, Don Enzo Cozzolino, has organized a demonstration against violence. There will be a mass, at 19,30:XNUMX p.m., at the sanctuary of San Sebastiano Martire, officiated by Don Enzo and the parish priests of the area. Then a torchlight procession will start from the Sanctuary to the site of the tragedy.
The demonstration was attended by MP Francesco Emilio Borrelli, the mayor of San Sebastiano al Vesuvio, Giuseppe Panico, Mimmo Filosa, president of Unipan, local associations, and the Pro Loco. "We are joining this demonstration with conviction," said Mimmo Filosa, "to say no to the rampant violence that is taking over our streets."
“I ask that the perpetrator of this shameful crime be punished as he deserves, without discounts or extenuating circumstances. A few hours after the murder, photos of the murderer have already appeared on social media. He appears triumphant, together with his friends, miming a gun with his hands.
The inescapable slogans “You are my life”, “I love you, I am always with you”, “You and me until death”. We must react firmly against these baby criminals, ready to kill in cold blood and without reason. No one must go unpunished”, declared Francesco Emilio Borrelli, deputy of Alleanza Verdi – Sinistra.
