NAPLES. “Have a good trip, princess”, we read on the shirt of a girl who gazes with wet eyes at the coffin of her friend in the cemetery of the parish of San Paolo Apostolo. Tears, balloons, doves, bells, applause: it is the day of farewell. The people of Green Park, today more than ever the suburbs of all the suburbs, put aside the anti-Covid rules to huddle around a white coffin. Bianca because 18-year-old Maria Paola Gaglione was still little, especially for her family, who on this afternoon of anguish appears bent over with pain. A suffering etched on the mother’s face and that is further aggravated when she realizes that her older brother, the one who had always cared for her, caused the death of her “little one.” By an atrocious fate, in fact, it was the disproportionate reaction of thirty-year-old Michele Antonio that caused the fatal accident. He wanted to snatch his sister from her boyfriend (a trans with whom he had a relationship for years) to bring her back home, he chased them at night with his bicycle on a dark road between Caivano and Acerra until his scooter fell .
Yesterday afternoon about three hundred people (half outside the church) wanted to pay tribute to that beautiful girl madly in love, they immortalized that smile that has been bouncing on television and newspapers for days. While her partner, Ciro Migliore, escorted for fear of possible reprisals, greeted her in the morgue. “I am sorry Paolè, we ask your forgiveness for not being able to protect this fragile and precious life of yours,” says Don Maurizio Patriciello, parish priest of a neighborhood where the fight against evil is harder than in other places. The unease over too many controversies also arises from the homily. “Lord, remind us that before sexual orientation, skin color, bank account, the human person comes (…) spread your forgiveness, destroy the feeling of revenge and hatred …”.
The reference is to the “conflict” that is anything but heated Shakespearean between families but also to the supposed homophobic motivation, a scenario also denied by Bruno Mazza (association “A childhood to live”): «Transsexuality has nothing to do with that . María Paola had a homosexual uncle who lived with them for 35 years without any problem. The fact is that the family did not want their daughter to go out with someone who had problems with the law (Ciro, born Cira, has a history of drugs, ed) and it didn’t work. ”
Pigeons, balloons and applause long gone, pushers and sentries can return to their positions, the “Bronx” of the land of fire returns to its silent and painful daily life. Only one inscription remains: “Bon voyage, princess.”
