Giorgio Guastamacchia, a member of the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte's escort, died this Saturday in Rome, where he was hospitalized 12 days ago after testing positive for coronavirus.
The 52-year-old agent, married and with two children, had been admitted two weeks ago to the intensive care unit of the Tor Vergata Polyclinic. "We have faithfully followed the guidelines for the treatment of Covid-19 to the end to try to recover it," explained the doctors at the aforementioned Roman clinic.
Recall that Conte also underwent the tests, although he tested negative. According to the Government's version, Guastamacchia had not had direct contact with the prime minister in the two weeks prior to his positive.
"For those of us who met him and for his bodymates, it is a moment of great pain," Conte wrote on Facebook, with a message of comfort to the family and an emotional memory of the "delivery" of the deceased. "I will never be able to erase generosity and her lively smile, tinged with a touch of irony, from memory."
