The deputy commissioner of the State Police Giorgio Guastamacchia, who died today in Rome, was part of the escort of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. The policeman had contracted the virus a few weeks ago and was immediately hospitalized and intubated.
"For all of us who have known him, for the colleagues of the protection service, for the employees of the Prime Minister, it is a moment of great pain. We huddle to Mrs. Emanuela, her children, her loved ones, to express them our feelings of emotional closeness. The memory of his professional dedication, his generous gestures, his smiles enlivened by a clear thread of irony will remain indelible in me ", writes the president of the board on Fb.

You have always dedicated yourself to protecting high risk people. Fear never won, not even in the face of the battle against the #coronavirus.
A fraternal hug to your wife and children from the #PoliziadiStato family that will always take you with you.
