Musile di Piave accident, Franco Antonello on his comatose son: "Is he a criminal for a cane?"

"How can a 19-year-old boy be described as a criminal for a cane? How can you forget all that good has done so far for a mistake, for a sleep stroke? " This was said in an interview with 'Il Mattino di Padova' by the father of Alberto Antonello, the 19-year-old in a coma after the accident in which his 18-year-old girlfriend died in Musile di Piave at dawn on November 1 returning from a Halloween party. "You can't destroy a boy for a rod – stresses Franco Antonello – Friday we hugged each other and he told me: quiet, dad, I go slow".

"Do you think that death is not enough punishment for us too? Giulia was a member of our family – she explains – She had lived with Alberto for a few months, they were there a few meters from my house. I can't believe it, I don't give myself peace ”. Alberto is "the revenge of my life", he says, "there have been some problems in the past, teenagers are rebels. However, for some years things had changed. He took our business on his shoulders, worked from morning to night. And also with his brother Andrea the relationship is very different than before ".

"Alberto has always suffered the diversity of his brother – adds the father of the 19 year old – He was ashamed. But now everything has changed. They go away together, some nights they sleep together. My heart fills with satisfaction and love, seeing them finally united as two brothers should be ”.

"When misfortunes happen like this, there is always a riot of rumors – he says – I feel the country, I perceive the prevailing opinion on social media, I saw the newspapers. For half a gram of grass a guy who made a mistake is thrown from the precipice. Fatal, of course, and time can never wipe out this pain. But it's still a mistake. " "I hope that one day we will know the truth, that that damned incident happened because of a stroke of sleep and not because of the drug – he concludes – But now I want to think only of him. And to Giulia ".
