The Holy See, which had consented to the opening of two tombs, at the request of the Orlandi family itself, then decided not to proceed with the analysis because their expert had given a very earlier first dating, not compatible with the young woman's story. However, he did allow the family to investigate further. "We have entrusted some bone fragments to a laboratory, there will first be the analysis of carbon 14 for dating and then, if the conditions are met, the DNA examination", reports Laura Sgrò, Pietro Orlandi's lawyer, brother of Emanuela who never stopped looking for her. For Sgrò the first answers may already be "in September".
