Three boats dedicated to Giulia Tramontano, Santo Romano, and Giulia Cecchettin were launched at the Circolo Canottieri Napoli as part of the "Let's Row Against Violence" day. The event was attended by the victims' families and local authorities.
Among those present at the launch were Giancarlo Bracale, president of the Club; Davide Tizzano, president of the Italian Rowing Federation; and Emanuela Ferrante, councilor for sport for the City of Naples. "This is a beautiful, metaphorical message of support for our family," commented Chiara Tramontano. "It's a vessel that will sail on the waters, which means Giulia's journey isn't over. We're delighted and honored that one of these vessels bears her name."
Mena De Mare, Santo Romano's mother, also expressed her gratitude: "I hope the institutions are committed to changing things and ensuring the punishment is certain. We are all here because now it's up to the institutions to send a signal.

The event was very important and I saw that the families of the victims were present. But I think there needs to be more attention on these issues and that the authorities need to do more to prevent violence.
