A moved crowd gathered in the Turin Cathedral for the last farewell to Filippo Falotico, 20, the youngest of the victims of the collapse of the Turin crane.
To welcome the coffin, covered with white roses, the mayor of Turin, Stefano Lo Russo, the municipal councilors Francesco Tresso and Gianna Pentenero, the regional councilor Andrea Tronzano.
The archbishop of the Piedmontese capital, Monsignor Cesare Nosiglia, celebrates the religious function.
In the church the banners of the Metropolitan City and the Municipality of Turin and the Piedmont Region.
The family members are inconsolable, there are many young people present, friends of the victim and young people who did not know Filippo but were struck by the tragedy. "It could have happened to anyone, the work must be safe," says a young man in a whisper. In the churchyard, the hood of the car with which the victim, a great motor fan, ran on Sundays, framed by white and blue balloons.
Nosiglia, institutions do not remain defenseless
- "Institutions and control bodies cannot remain defenseless in the face of this declared war. It is unacceptable that in a country that wants to be among the most advanced there should be so many accidents at work".
It is a passage from the homily of the archbishop of Turin, Monsignor Cesare Nosiglia, at the funeral of Filippo Falotico, one of the three victims of the collapse of the crane in via Genova.
"The questions are necessary - he added - because it is a vast and general problem: you cannot save on your life you cannot speculate on job security, which is a right".
