They found him slumped to the ground, one foot still stuck in the cart he was driving. Umberto Di Lisio I was 49 years old and I was struck down by a fulminant heart attack (here the Primonumero.it article). Nothing could be done to save him, it was too late. The alarm occurred just before 9 o’clock, when the 118 operators also arrived, but the coroner established that the death had occurred a couple of hours earlier. However, in that period of time between 6.30 and 8.30, no one saw the body on the ground near the Fiat Logistics warehouse, where the man who lives in Montenero di Bisaccia had worked for more than twenty years. Or – but it’s a terrible hypothesis to consider – someone spotted him on the ground and instead of helping him took the watch from his wrist and the wallet from his pocket.
Gennaro Di Lisio, Umberto’s older brother, cannot even think of such an event. But there are very few explanations for what happened nine months ago, and which he has now decided to make public in the wake of a more recent robbery incident of a deceased.
“My mother – he tells Primonumero – did not give herself in peace to the watch and the wallet that never returned to our family and that Umberto carried that March 5. A few days ago he came across Sara’s story (Sara favia, the 17-year-old from Termoli who died in a tragic car accident in the San Salvo roundabout, ed) and discovered that in addition to the mobile phone they had been taken, now dead, also a solitary ring. At that moment everything came back to the surface and it seemed useful to me that we knew.
Victim of Umberto Di Lisio twice. Of destiny, of the inescapable destiny that took him away in a matter of seconds, and of one scar in tragedy. Gennaro says with a voice cracking with bitterness: “My brother never wore the watch in his life, so much so that I made fun of him saying he was allergic to time. But a few days before his death he had revolutionized that habit of his buying two smartwatches on the web, one for his daughter who turned 19 on March 5 and one for him. He had started to put it on, and he also said that it was not bad… ”he remembers with a slight smile when he thinks of his brother, a Fiat warehouse worker for more than 20 years.
“A man always available to everyone, who never said no and never forgave himself.” Separated, without particular or demanding social relationships, Umberto loved to read and stay at home in his spare time, and it was his prerogative to “give” to his colleagues vacations in the most attractive periods such as August or the Christmas holidays, arguing that ” his home with children and family. Coming to work on vacation doesn’t change my life. “
A kind, kind and lovable man. His sudden death, at the age of 49, plunged the family into anguish and pain. “I don’t know how much money he had in his wallet – says Gennaro again – and I’m not interested in knowing. Maybe 200 euros, maybe two thousand. I don’t even care who did it right now. I just want to know what they did to him, what they did to us. “
March 5 was a very special day for Basso Molise, the day on which San Timoteo hospital has closed due to covid. The group, the first in Molise, imported from the mountains of Trentino directly to the Adriatic hospital, had caused an unprecedented emergency. “My brother’s body was kept in the medical room of the Fiat infirmary because he couldn’t go to the hospital. Then the funeral home came to pick it up, including my brother-in-law who works in the industry. So I’m sure they didn’t take the watch or the wallet. However, he no longer had them. They weren’t in his locker in the warehouse, in the car, they weren’t at home, ransacked from top to bottom to dispel any doubts. The only thing we found was the document holder, in which he kept personal documents and cards, while the money was in another wallet ”.
Gennaro, who works in the private sector and has a close human relationship with all his employees, tried to ask, graciously and without even anticipating the issue, a meeting with the top management of the Fiat plant. “I would have liked to let you know what happened, I don’t want to blame anyone but a story like this is not fair to pass in silence. They never received me: they told me that for any complaint or request I would have to go to my lawyer ”.
But Gennaro has no intention of denouncing, of starting a legal battle. All you are interested in is pointing out the human pettiness, the smallness of someone who robbed a dead person in the workplace, that metallurgical factory that had never been saved for, among those colleagues who had never said no. So he also entrusted the story to a facbook post, which is kind of lto the unknown thief: “With the money stolen from my dead brother you can eat a beautiful Florentine, while for the clock I want you to see his smiling face reflected every time you consult the dial. After months I find myself here screaming, to let it be known, that while he was there on the floor, lifeless on the cold industrial floor, someone stole his watch and wallet.
Whoever you are, really, go to a restaurant and eat a Florentine, bring some of your friends too, and when you go to pay with the money stolen in that vile way, remember that everything was offered by my brother, the Florentine was his plate. favorite. I wish you happy holidays and please, the watch always in sight because it was beautiful”.
Gennaro’s hope today is that the person responsible for such a cowardly and indecent act can read his words “and suck alone.”
