The situation is very sad, I don't understand why they were not allowed to have a public funeral, he was a young man with a life ahead of him, and now all this pain for his family and friends. The decision seems a bit unfair.
It is true that there were problems between the two boys, but violence is never a solution. We should never reach these extremes, Nicola's life deserves respect and memory.
