This is the message on the social networks of the president of Italia Viva, Ettore Rosato for Graziella Pagano. 

"I had known her for a lifetime. I loved her even when I did not share her political choices. I have always admired her because she has always defended her ideas, with courage, with determination. A fighter. Even the decision to share her on social networks. illness was a political act, an invitation to resist, not to give up. He fought it and as if the tumor fought it! Woman, mother, daughter of this land, "a lioness" as her son defined her Lorenzo. Hi Graziella, my friend. May the earth be light to you! ", States Senator Sandro Ruotolo in a post on Facebook.
