"Today we remember Giuseppe Girolamo, a silent hero who, on the day of the tragic shipwreck of the Costa Concordia, gave up his place in the lifeboat to save other lives, not knowing how to swim and aware of what this choice would have meant for him.
We honour his memory, already awarded the gold medal for civil valor, as an example of selflessness and courage. Let's not forget." This was written on X by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, on the anniversary of the shipwreck of the Costa Concordia.
Giani, my thoughts for little girl Dayana and other dead
"For little Dayana who was only 5 years old and for the other 31 broken lives.
Everyone on the island of Giglio opened the doors of their homes to help the shipwrecked people of the Costa Concordia, an extraordinary solidarity that gave way to one of the largest rescue operations in history. The whole of Tuscany is close in the memory of that terrible night." This was written on social media by the president of Tuscany, Eugenio Giani, on the anniversary of the shipwreck of the Costa Concordia ship on the island of Giglio (Grosseto).
