San Giuseppe Vesuviano – A deep wound uniting Emilia and Campania. The community of San Giuseppe Vesuviano awoke in grief at the news of the death of Alessandro Ambrosio, the 34-year-old train conductor killed two nights ago with a stab wound to the abdomen in the western courtyard of Bologna station.
Although Alessandro had long lived in Anzola dell'Emilia, his roots were firmly anchored in the Naples area, where numerous relatives of the Ambrosio family still reside.
The arrest of the alleged killer
A breakthrough in the investigation came yesterday evening in Desenzano del Garda, in the Brescia province. State Police officers arrested Marin Jelenic, a 36-year-old Croatian national believed to be the perpetrator of the murder.
The man, located around 21:00 PM after a brief escape that led him to spend a night in a dormitory in Milan, appeared clearly confused. "I know I'm wanted, but I don't know exactly what for," were his first, startling words to investigators. The motive for an act that, until now, appeared to be gratuitous and inexplicable violence remains a mystery.
Who was Alessandro: the music, the numbers and the uniform
Alessandro Ambrosio wasn't just a respected railroad worker. With a degree in statistics, he chose to follow in his father Luigi's footsteps, taking over the tracks after the latter's retirement. But his true soul resided in the notes of his guitar. Known as a talented musician, Alessandro was a pillar of the Anzola Cultural Circle, with which he performed regularly.
"He was a boy with an extraordinary education, ironic and joking," his friends at the club remember with grief. "Ambro was one of us. It's impossible to accept that a life lived with such kindness could be extinguished like this."
The pain of the family
On the landing of his home, his father, Luigi Ambrosio, struggles to hold back tears as he remembers the son who had become his pride. "He was loved by everyone; he loved sports and music," the man said, still in shock. He has no words of hatred for the killer, but only one question that demands an answer: "I just want to know why he did it. He hit him from behind."
While Bologna and San Giuseppe Vesuviano gather around the family, the investigation continues to reconstruct the last moments of the life of a young man described by everyone with a single word: kind.

Throw the keys to this disgusting zombie.
We are helpless and defenseless against certain madmen who harbor hatred toward those who welcome them and perhaps even support them financially. It's incredible that we don't control these madmen who roam freely.
It's sad that such terrible things happen, especially to someone who seemed so kind and loved. We hope that justice will take its course and that Alessandro's family can find some peace in this difficult time.
