NAPLES (ITALPRESS) – “Ceremony of great significance. As I said, not without particular emotion representing the state and feeling the responsibility to confront in such events and also with the commemoration of such events and the pain they caused, it is not easy.” Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said this in Naples on the sidelines of the ceremony in Piazza Municipio for the plaque in memory of Giovanbattista Cutolo, a gold medalist for civilian valor, in the presence of Naples Mayor Gaetano Manfredi and Naples Prefect Michele Di Bari.
“But we,” Piantedosi continued, “have to make sure, also by capitalizing on what is a signal, which GioGiò’s family has given us, to turn this great tragedy into an opportunity, in some way, to be made available to others and to make sure that through a commemoration a message for the future is also launched and is a trace of an overall commitment to make sure that these tragedies do not happen anymore, that they do not happen randomly and do not happen without consequences. That’s why I said, ‘Great commitment of the institutions,’ of the state, of the municipality to make sure that the murky waters of what is the degradation, the youth discomfort are drained, but at the same time strengthening the sense of responsibility that we have to give and point out again to our young people as well.”
