  • End of the year Curfew and nightly closure of the hotel industry: this is what the restrictions against omicron are in each community

In the end, the virus won the battle over

Mauro Buratti

, a 61-year-old mechanic from

Mantua

, northern

Italy

, and a convinced anti-vaccine.

Known as

Mauro de Mantua

, he died this Monday in the ICU of

the Borgo Trento Hospital in Verona

, where he was admitted with

Covid

.

Buratti was a well-known personality in his city, especially among listeners of

La Zanzara

, the radio program directed by

Giuseppe Cruciani

together with the Padua journalist

David Parenzo

.

"The doctors are all communists"

The story of

Mauro de Mantua

, an early denier and anti-vaccine, "exploded" at the beginning of December when, during a live broadcast, he recounted how he had entered a supermarket without a mask with the intention of infecting the whole world with the

coronavirus

when he already knew that he was infected.

Buratti's health in the following days worsened so much that the listeners themselves and the program director tried to convince him to go to the hospital.

The mechanic gave in after a long resistance and went to the emergency room, but from a hospital in Verona, an hour's walk away, because, according to him, "in Mantua the doctors are all communists."

In recent weeks his condition, already critical, had gradually worsened until the epilogue that nobody wanted arrived.

Although many had insulted

Mauro de Mantua

for his statements, after his hospitalization the community was hopeful that he would recover.

First

Cruciani

, but also

David Parenzo

, who had announced in solidarity that he had withdrawn a lawsuit against him.

Even the most important newspaper of the Orthodox Jewish community had published a text praying for him.

Many men and women in show business had also expressed their proximity to the mechanic.

On the other side there were also those who wished him death for the possible infections that he had caused in the supermarket.

In early December,

Mauro de Mantua

appeared in a video recorded by a couple who had met him in a supermarket in the Milan area, just before he ended up in intensive care.

Those were the last images of

Buratti

, who remained in the ICU until Monday night, when he finally passed away.

"Victim of misinformation"

David Parenzo

wrote on his

Twitter

profile

: "

Mauro of Mantua

died last night at 10 pm. Rest in peace wherever you are, old conspiracy theorist. I just hope that your sad story serves as an example to all those who still harbor doubts about the efficacy of vaccines ". Later, the journalist added to the C

orriere del Veneto

: "Part of the responsibility comes from some politicians and newspapers that have fueled doubts and controversies about the use of vaccines. Einaudi used to say: 'to know to decide.' Mauro, in addition to being a victim of his beliefs, he was the victim of a small piece of information and politics that fueled his skepticism towards science and medicine. "

Cruciani with a long post on

Instagram

wanted to remind the mechanic: "Mauro has left. I was hoping, we hoped, that once again I could handle everything. He was a stubborn and that damn week was possibly fatal. He had decided to live a his way, no one stopped him and our great community loved him despite his distortions, his theories, his changing moods. I keep in my heart all your insulting messages and long phone conversations when you were calmer. You wanted to be the king of the radio, you were happy when someone recognized you on the street and asked you for a

selfie

. You were, you are,

Mauro from Mantua

.

We made fun of you, you insulted us, but we have fun like never before in our lives.

And now I have received a blow to the heart.

The emptiness prevails in the soul, and I think of that radio screen where it will no longer appear: 'Mauro from Mantua wants to speak'.

Goodbye, Maurone, wherever you are. "
