08 October 2019 "This is the year of change and change not only because it is the tenth anniversary but because finally in the judicial classrooms where we have fought for years, the truth that we were already clear since October of the 2009 ". This is how Ilaria Cucchi presented the fifth Memorial on the Capitol, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday in Rome, dedicated to her brother Stefano, who died ten years ago from the consequences of a beating in a Carabinieri barracks.

"It is a must for me - added Ilaria Cucchi - it is a wonderful event, and much more: it is the way in which civil society joins our family so as not to make us feel lonely". "Do not make the our family however - he underlined - also means giving a strong and clear signal to all the other Stefano, the last of which we must not forget to build a better society. What we do is a sign of hope ". Then he invited everyone to the next Sunday marathon organized as part of the Memorial:" We are about to reach the finish line, let's all get together, "he said, thanking those present.

The lawyer Anselmo: a tortuous path
"I remember the first of the Memorial, Ilaria told me" it is a memory but dedicated to life and the future, which also serves to resolve a tragedy. "A hymn to respect the dignity of the person. The Memorial is born from frustration: we had already understood the truth but it did not want to enter the judicial classrooms, as unfortunately too often happens ". This is how the lawyer Fabio Anselmo, the Cucchi family's lawyer at the Campidoglio presentation. "They were ten difficult years - he added - a tortuous path to say the least, which helped to clarify the shadow cones of the story, even if we had all already understood. It is the sense of justice that has moved our hearts. We want to talk to the heart, not to the belly - the lawyer concluded - we want to talk about the right to life "
