Maria Filippi, 92 (on 13 December she would have turned 93) and Severino “Rino” Panizzi, 92, originally from the Argentina Valley, knew each other since childhood
The funeral will be celebrated on December 9 in the village church
Santo Stefano a Mare – Two spouses from Santo Stefano al Mare, in the province of Imperia, died at the same time, one day apart. Maria Filippi, 92 years old (he would have turned 93 on 13 December) e Severino “Rino” Panizzi, 92 years old, originally from the Argentina Valley, they knew each other since childhood.
“They were 6 years old – says the niece Roberta Parodi – when they met and they had been married for 69 years: they had spent their lives in the countryside “.” Theirs is a beautiful story, in an era of emotional consumerism “, underline the grandchildren Manuela and Denise Panizzi, Marco and Roberta Parodi.
“Maria has dedicated her whole life to Severino and even in the last months that her grandfather had cognitive problems, she has always supported him in silence“. Severino died on Monday evening at 10pm, but Maria knew nothing because since her husband suffered from insomnia she spent the nights in the house of relatives a few meters away from their home.
“On Tuesday morning she didn’t ask for him and didn’t want to go home, as if he understood. We left her alone and after exactly 24 hours she also turned off. We would like this story to be a message of hope for all couples. Tomorrow (Thursday 9 December, ed) the funeral will be celebrated in the church of Santo Stefano, but for us it’s like they’re getting married again. A marriage to a new life together “. (
