Matteo Messina Denaro, the last godfather of Cosa Nostra, died at the age of 61
September 25, 2023
Rome- At the age of 61 and after spending his last hours in an irreversible coma, Matteo Messina Denaro, the last godfather of Cosa Nostra, the Sicilian mafia, died this Monday in the detainee sector of the Aquila hospital. Messina Denaro, the former boss of all bosses and the most wanted man in Italy for 30 years, had been arrested on January 16 in a clinic in Palermo where, under a false identity, he was about to undergo a chemotherapy session to treat colon cancer that ended up being his trap. “If I hadn't been sick they wouldn't have captured me,” the boss had assured, in one of the first interrogations, something surely true. The last king of the “terrorist” Cosa Nostra, the bloodiest, who declared war on the State more than 20 years ago, murdering the emblematic anti-mafia judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino in 1992 and opening a period of bloody attacks. After being arrested in a clamorous police operation, he continued to treat his illness in L'Aquila prison, where he was detained under the harshest prison regime for gangsters.
The actor Roberto Sturno has died
September 23, 2023
This is a sad loss for the world of theatre, of which Roberto was a true pillar. From a student he had become a master, inspiring new generations. Roberto was a beacon for aspiring actors approaching the theater. His passing leaves a void that is difficult to fill. An artist, a professional and above all an exemplary man. His death comes suddenly, like a bolt from the blue. Nobody would have ever expected it. Roberto Sturno was born in Rome in 1946 [77]. He made his theater debut in “Macbeth” in 1971. Throughout his career he has worked with prominent companies and directors. His most lasting collaboration is certainly the one with Glauco Mari, started in 1981 and consolidated in 2005 with the creation of the Mauri-Sturno company. Roberto Sturno has always shown impressive versatility on stage, where he brought flair and magic. One of his best performances is certainly the one in Schmitt's “Enigmatic Variations”, but also in “Crime and Punishment” and “Endgame”. Sturno leaves behind two sons, Vanja and Mirò, and his wife Stefania Micheli.

Musical acrobat Enrico D'Eusebio dies suddenly age 42
September 22, 2023
He loved experiencing nature. So much so that he had built his own "little oasis" in the countryside of Villagrappa. But he was an all-round artist, trying sculpture from an early age and then dedicating himself to his passion, music. He stood out with his voice, but above all his cello and Mazapegulesque acrobatics. Enrico had been the face of the Orchestrina Vico Vecchio, a journey into musical space-time, where the past mixes with the present, getting lost between waltzes and dance grooves, thus proposing a very broad repertoire made up of folk-style reinterpretations of pop, grunge and electronics. Last Saturday he performed at the "Slo Fest" at the Parco delle Fonti in Meldola, protagonist of the "Takabanda Slò - Che musica" with Kissene Folk, a group that offers a repertoire of Balfolk and European popular music, and other musicians. The latest legacy, published on his Facebook page, is a whistling interpretation of "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik", whistling together with his inseparable cello.

Creazzo - Fatal illness on construction site. A 60-year-old plumber dies
September 22, 2023
The site manager discovered the tragedy during an inspection. The plumber was on the ground and the architect immediately raised the alarm, calling for the Suem ambulance. But for Raffaele Bogo, 60 years old, resident in Vicenza, there was nothing left to do. What struck him down, in all likelihood, was a fatal illness, which didn't even give him time to ask for help. The tragedy dates back to yesterday afternoon, Thursday 21 September, and occurred in via Rampa, in Creazzo. According to a first, summary reconstruction, Bogo was employed in some work at a plant; at that moment he was alone, because he didn't need collaborators. But, while he was operating, he was struck by a sudden illness, which unfortunately gave him no escape. As mentioned, he was found by the site manager, who attempted to resuscitate him while immediately raising the alarm.
The 118 doctor, however, could not do anything other than confirm the death of the craftsman. It is not excluded that an autopsy may be ordered to clarify things completely.

Camaiore – 43-year-old man dies transporting an excavator
September 19, 2023
The contours of the tragedy that occurred late on Monday afternoon on the hills of Camaiore, where a 43-year-old man lost his life while transporting an excavator, still remain to be defined with certainty. It happened in this steep and narrow uphill street, via Colletto Santucci. The worker, Roland Cizmja, of Albanian origin but resident for many years in Versilia, employee of a construction company in Camaiore, was found lifeless on the side of the road around 6pm with a serious head injury. According to the initial reconstructions carried out by the Municipal Police, it was a fatal accident at work. He was driving a company tractor towing an excavator that needed to be taken back to a warehouse: the vehicle was stopped near his body. The 118 and Misericordia rescuers could only confirm his death. There are several hypotheses that investigators are working on. It could have been a large branch, suddenly detached from a tree, that hit him, causing him to fall to the ground. Or a sudden illness that would have caused his head to hit the concrete curb on the road. The dynamics are still being reconstructed. The man was married and had three small children. A tragedy that destroyed a family and generated deep pain throughout the Camaiore community.
