Sunday 22 December, Napoli will stop for ten minutes to remember the innocent victims of violence.
At 18:19 PM, from Piazza Municipio, a procession will start in memory of Santo Romano, the XNUMX-year-old killed last November in San Sebastiano al Vesuvio following an argument over a simple shoe that was stepped on. The initiative will also be dedicated to all the young lives broken by crime.From 19pm to 19pm, the Christmas lights of the tree in Piazza Municipio, the decorations and Palazzo San Giacomo will be turned off as a sign of mourning and reflection.
“It is important to participate in this demonstration,” said Santo Romano’s aunt, who announced the event on social media together with the Green-Sinister Alliance MP Francesco Emilio Borrelli. “Not only for Santo, but for all the victims of insane and criminal acts. This Christmas many families will have an empty seat at the table, and it is right to make them feel warmth and closeness.”
Borrelli stressed the importance of not forgetting: “A month and a half has passed since Santo’s death and already some people seem to have forgotten him. We cannot allow this. We invite everyone to put Christmas shopping aside for a moment, to suspend thoughts of the holidays, and to dedicate a few hours to Santo’s family, who will be experiencing Christmas without him this year. Being at their side means showing humanity and closeness, the least we can do.”
A strong message that recalls the importance of remembrance and solidarity, even during the Christmas holidays.
