In Arquata funeral victim New Year

(ANSA) - ARQUATA DEL TRONTO (ASCOLI PICENO), JANUARY 3 - The funeral of Valerio Amatizi, the 26 year old from Ascoli Piceno who died the night of New Year's Eve, took place this morning in Arquata delTronto in the church of the village Sae Borgo 1 of a fall in Colle San Marco while trying to extinguish a fire outbreak caused by the sparks of the fireworks lit to greet the arrival of the new year. This gesture of generosity that cost him washing was at the center of the homily of the parish priest Don Nazzareno Gaspar. "Valerio died making a gesture of altruism; he could have left it alone, but he did not do it because the search for the common good has been stronger in him as it has always been in his life," said the priest. Hundreds of people paid the last farewell to Amatizi, including the mayors of Arquata Aleandro Petrucci and Ascoli Piceno Marco Fioravanti.
