"Many have reproached me for lacking humanity but I cannot and do not want to apologise, as many have strongly suggested I do, for the death of Giovanna Pedretti which obviously pains me as a human being, because if I did I would be yet another person who uses his death for his own benefit, in my case to rehabilitate me, sprinkling ash on my head and begging for mercy from the public square."
Lorenzo Biagiarelli says it when he returns to social media after weeks of silence, with a long video on Instagram, talking about the case of the suicide of the restaurateur from Lodi.
"I rather prefer to keep the doubt, the stigma, the suspicion rather than try the path of pity by stating something that I don't think and I will calmly accept all the consequences of this choice. And I take this opportunity to inform you that unfortunately the conditions no longer exist because I'll resume my role on È semper midday, so you won't see me on air anymore" announces Biagiarelli, Selvaggia Lucarelli's partner.
"However, I want to thank all those who have never stopped showing me affection and there have been many of them, because even though the attempt to destroy me was almost a success, I hold onto that almost and the solidarity of the many".
