Fermi: death without justification
“They called you the priest of the last because you dedicated your life to the last. Dress them, feed them, listen to them. He often abandoned his own food to give it to him.

He says Roberto Bernasconi, director of Caritas. Malgesini followed the most extreme poverty situations in the city for Caritas. “This tragedy – continues Bernasconi – is comparable to a martyrdom, I wanted to transmit a Christian message through closeness to these people. It is a tragedy that arises from the hatred that accumulates these days and is the triggering cause beyond the physical person who made this gesture. Either we stop hating or tragedies like this will repeat themselves. I hope that this martyrdom of yours can contribute to the revelation of society ”. Bernasconi also refers to some “oppositions“Born on the subject of the poor in Como” who make you lose your rationality “, specifying not to refer, however, to the act of the councilor who, in recent days, has taken a blanket from a homeless man (” There is no nothing to do with that “). I mean those who use these people to make speeches that are personal so it is not that they do good to these people. People for what they are must be put in the center, such as Don Roberto did ”.

This is how Don Roberto presented himself the first day he came to Casa della Carità at the beginning of our welcome, ”he recalls Fiorenzo De Molli, rresponsible for the hospitality and hospitality sector. Valtellineses of origin and you could see: “a kind, delicate and attentive boy, with a soft voice that hardly wants to disturb and with a youthful face but with an ‘effective and concrete’ presence like all the men of the mountain. “After a year he returned to the Diocese of Como ready, as he said, to “to serve the Lord in the little ones”. “The entire House of Charity – reads a statement – gathers around the family and friends of Don Roberto and joins the pain of the Diocese of Como”
