"Many will remember Marianna Manduca, murdered when she was only 32 years old in 2007 by her husband: she left three children still minors who went through a judicial ordeal to have their rights recognized. To Carmelo, Stefano and Salvatore I say that they will certainly never get their mother back. , "young and beautiful" but the State will sign a settlement agreement that will recognize them not only being able to keep a sum that had been recognized to their mother "who had reported the violence suffered" but will also recognize a large sum as damage not the state must be able to recognize its mistakes. "
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said this when speaking at Palazzo Chigi on the occasion of the International Day against violence against women.
The woman was killed, despite having raised the alarm with 12 reports of violence against her spouse, stabbed in the street by her ex-husband, in Palagonia (Catania) on 3 October 2007. The man, Saverio Nolfo, was arrested and sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment.
The three children were adopted by a cousin of the victim, Carmelo Cali ', who lived in Senigallia, in the Marche region, with his wife and three children.
The man, who had never known the three children of his murdered cousin, decided to adopt them to take them away from the family home where they were about to be assigned.
And after a long legal battle, in April of this year, the appeal of the woman's three children against
the appeal sentence that had denied them the right to 259 thousand euros in compensation for the lack of protection of their mom from
the state.
"Excessive fragmentation of the facts" and an "argumentative path in contrast with the rules governing the assessment" of the concatenation of events in reconstructing the 'Manduca case', the dramatic femicide often announced and consummated in the inertia of the state.
These are the reasons why the Supreme Court has clearly rejected the decision taken by the Court of Appeal of Messina, on 19 March 2019, to revoke the compensation for pecuniary damage.
