President Meloni’s condolences following Frecce Tricolori accident

16 September 2023

I am shocked by what happened at the Caselle aero club in Turin today, during an exercise by the Frecce Tricolori. The death of young Laura Origliasso following the terrible crash of an aircraft from the National Aerobatic Team is deeply upsetting and has left me speechless. Both personally and on behalf of the entire Government, I express sympathy and condolences to the family of the little girl who has died, and send best wishes for a speedy recovery to her parents and brother who were injured in this tragedy.

President Meloni’s statement on anniversary of the murder of Don Pino Puglisi

15 September 2023

Don Pino Puglisi is an example. Enlightened by the strength of his faith, he carried out his mission tirelessly, eventually making the ultimate sacrifice. In his beloved Palermo, where he was a priest in his native district of Brancaccio, he fearlessly defied the Mafia and gave his life to save youngsters and children from organised crime. Young people were his treasure, he took care of them and protected them against the Mafia’s deceptions and traps. The Mafia did not forgive him for this, and killed him. On the thirtieth anniversary of his martyrdom, Italy once again draws from his powerful lesson: “If each of us does something, then we can do a lot”.
