A difficult week whose main theme, however, was a tricolor thread,
made up of the faces of men and women who have made our country great.
And it is a woman 'the Wonder Woman anticovid' depicted in a mural in Codogno, the first photo we chose to commemorate a year of pandemic, from the discovery of 'patient 1'.
The first case was discovered by a woman, the anesthetist and resuscitator
Annalisa Malara
who verified that Mattia, patient 1, was positive at Covid.
How long from that night between 20 and 21 February 2020 to the honor conferred by President Mattarella 'representing all the doctors who fought'.
And then the great
team of Luna Rossa
that with two victories broke the Prada Cup earning the final in the America's Cup. But after the successes, this was the dramatic week of
the ambush in Congo
that saw the death of the Italian ambassador.
Luca Attanasio and his bodyguard, the carabiniere Vittorio Iacovacci.

the
car, part of a
convoy of the UN World Food Program (WFP).
The Italians would have been taken to the forest and killed.
Kinshasa accused the Hutu rebels of the Rwanda Liberation Forces.
The reconstruction of the ambush leaves many gray areas and dominated the week, which saw the return to their homeland of the bodies, welcomed in Ciampino by Prime Minister
Mario Draghi
(with the laying on of hands on the coffin, a gesture that was the first of President Ciampi when he welcomed the fallen of the Nassiriya massacre).
This week, a 'legendary Italian' as the leaders of the MotoGP,
Fausto Gresini
, has gone away, crushed by Covid
.
The former motorcycle racer was two-time world champion in the mid-1980s: after retiring from racing he founded the team that bears his name.
Marco Simoncelli
was racing for him, with Honda
,
when he died in 2011 in Sepang.
Finally, after the farewell at Palazzo Chigi, the former premier
Giuseppe Conte
returns to the chair
,
who gave his first lesson at the University of Florence talking about the management of the pandemic.
But it seems his future lies in politics
