When SVT meets Emma D'Orazio, she tells about the death sentence, how she screamed straight out and started throwing things around.
About the enormous grief, but also the desire to meet us and tell us, so that the daughter's death would not have been in vain.
- My daughter often complained that she had to work alone at those machines, says Emma D'Orazio.
The lawyer: Bypassed the security systems
Luana somehow got stuck in the big machine with fabric rolls and was sucked into it and died immediately.
Her boyfriend Alberto Orlandi says he can not accept what happened.
- You can not die at work.
Not in a modern country like Italy in 2021.
A criminal investigation is underway and the preliminary investigation leaders suspect that the machines were manipulated through switches that were knocked off by the security locks.
- It is believed to have circumvented the safety systems that turn off the machines when something happens.
In this way, you can produce faster, says the relatives' lawyer Andrea Rubini.
SVT has sought the responsible company, which, however, does not want to comment on anything.
More deaths during the pandemic
In another large EU country, Germany, half as many people die at work as in Italy, which is above the European average.
In the last year alone, fatalities have increased by more than 11 percent.
The pandemic has put pressure on companies' finances and many are cheating on security.
On average, 2.8 people a day have died at work so far this year in Italy.
Yet Luana's case, because she was so young and a woman, has shaken the country.
Her picture now adorns murals and both President Mattarella and Prime Minister Draghi spoke about her on National Day on 2 June.
Luana's mother Emma D'Orazio hopes for change.
- I do not want anyone to suffer as I do now.
I'm sorry.
But there should not be more Luana, more like her.
No.
