Torre del Greco is preparing to bid farewell to Aniello Scarpati, the 47-year-old police officer who died last night in a tragic car accident on Viale Europa.
On the day of the funeral, the city administration will declare a day of mourning: this was decided by Mayor Luigi Mennella, who this morning called an urgent meeting at the Palazzo Baronale with the commander of the municipal police Gennaro Russo, Deputy Mayor Michele Polese, and the president of the city council Gaetano Frulio.
The meeting was also attended by Loredana Raia, Vice President of the Campania Regional Council, representing the Region.
