The tragedy of Figline. The mother dies of cancer, the children succumb to pain and commit suicide

Figline Valdarno (Florence), December 30, 2020 – Courteous, kind, reserved, they always saw them together, the mother and her two children, now adults, a Figline Valdarno where they had moved to oncological treatments of the old woman, 77 years old, behaved well despite the disease. They had been dead for a month and a half in a house in an alley in the historic center and nobody had noticed anything. So today a neighbor decided to notify the authorities about the stench coming from the three rooms and they found them. They hadn’t seen them for a long time and there was no noise.

Luigia Teresa EtteriThe 77-year-old passed away in her bed due to the tumor that eventually won her over. While children, protectors, have not been able to protect themselves from pain and despair: according to a reconstruction of the carabinieri, Massimo Giovannella Del Bianco, 51, and her sister Francesca, 46 years old, after helping his mother to the end, are groggy with medications then they committed suicide with knife strokes, a single sheet, seized.

They found them both in bed this morning. Investigations try to assess whether the brother and sister are facing a murder-suicide case, with the man killing her and then beating herself to die in turn: but only the autopsy and other findings ordered by the magistrate on duty. Gianni tei they will be able to shed light on this additional aspect, as well as on the complete reconstruction of the story.

Giovannella Del Bianco’s father was away for some time, he too died. His wife told him he was a widow, in the shops of Figline, in the brief and friendly conversations he had with locals with whom this family had no ties. Furthermore, they said little about them; within this short time, being northern Italians they entered Venezuela and then returned to his homeland in recent times.

Luigia Teresa returned to Italy in 2018, her son was repatriated in 2008. In Figline, the 77-year-old woman and children had arrived for the woman’s care. at Serristori hospital, which is not even 100 meters from the alley where the department where the bodies were found is located. And also because of the proximity to Florence, easily accessible by train, destination for medical examinations.

The house in Guinelli alleyHe had bought a low-light Castilian village flanked by old buildings, perhaps two meters wide, closed by a vault on the course that later opens forty meters long. A locksmith remembers changing the lock on his door less than two years ago. They were the new owners. It is the same door that had a double lock and that the firemen had to break down.

The record in the Figline registry is in 2019, after which a lot of discretion and no word about the disease. The neighborhood also believed that they had left, perhaps that is also why the bodies were discovered weeks later. On the other hand, the confinements of COVID-19 they have not helped social relations even for these newcomers. And the inevitable surrender to the very serious disease, made in November after a hospitalization, and the return to the house from the alley, has ended with all his strength forever.
