Giulia Tramontano, 29, was killed by her partner in Senago, Lombardy. The funeral will be celebrated privately by the will of the family.

The bishop of Aversa, Angelo Spinillo, will preside over the funeral ceremony. In the face of so much violence "there is only to say - he adds - that we have lost the ability to relate to life" "Julia can be referred to as a witness, a martyr," says Spinillo.
