The man, deeply moved by the adverse fate that befell his fellow citizen, forcefully underlined his bitterness with the following words:
“Sometimes in the City Council they ask us what “major works” are planned for the future. Personally, I feel like saying that before asphalt, concrete and useless monuments, it would be appropriate to conserve, if not actually rebuild in some cases, that social fabric that has made our territory and our nation great. To all the people to whom Mrs. Luisa was dear, to her relatives, in particular to the relatives living in Galbiate that I know, my most sincere condolences and that of the municipal administration”.
