Funerali Sofia Castelli, palloncini e "Cenere" di Lazza come ultimo saluto

Sofia Castelli's Funeral: Balloons and Lazza's "Cenere" as a Last Farewell An Acquaintance: "She was a wonderful girl, I'm shocked." (Milan). (by Nicoletta Totaro) Hundreds of pink and white balloons were released amid applause as the coffin of Sofia Castelli, the 20-year-old killed by her ex-boyfriend, exited the church of San Giuliano in Cologno Monzese, the town in the province of Milan where the funeral took place and where the girl lived with her family. Immediately afterward, Lazza's song "Cenere" began to play over the loudspeakers. The family embraced the coffin in the silence of the square, filled with Sofia's friends and fellow Cologno residents. "She was a friend of my sister's, it was very trying because she was very young," a young woman commented tearfully. "She was a wonderful girl. I met her because she was a friend of my sister's niece. I was shocked; I can't get it out of my head," said an acquaintance. "I don't know if we're projecting ourselves into progress or regression when we think about these femicides," commented a man after the funeral. (Fabrizio Rostelli/alanews) --- Automatically generated transcript --- You knew Sofia. I didn't know her, it doesn't matter, but she lived behind my house and went to middle school with Stella. How did she react to the news here in general? Anyway, it's really provocative. She was a very good girl. I met her at my sister's house because she was a friend of her niece's, and we had a lovely chat. We talked for a long time, actually. I can really get her out of my head. Like your photo, I found out about it on TV and then through my niece, who called me and told me it had happened. This nephew went to work at the university. We talked to her about her ex. I knew she was engaged to this guy, but it was nothing special because the first time we didn't really talk about things, you know, girls at that young age talked about the least at my sister's house, but nothing special. If anything, she still has to pay dearly for the cost of her life for an abstract fantasy of a person, of a man who can no longer find a point where a woman can decide what her destiny will be. The life that still has to come, I do this. It seems like a truly surreal moment. I didn't know them, but I was truly moved by the television and other cases of femicide. I ask myself whether this is a society where we've been in progress or regression. I mean, I don't know what progress means, but it's the freedom to think about a woman. -
