The drama of Salvatore Calvaruso
During the preliminary hearing, Salvatore Calvaruso, a boy of just 19 years old, experienced a moment of great emotional tension. Arrested for the shooting that shook Monreale, in which three young people lost their lives, Calvaruso chose not to answer the investigators' questions, but admitted, through tears, that he was the one who shot.
His request for forgiveness from the families of the victims made clear the weight of his action, a gesture that forever changed the course of the lives involved.
The reconstruction of the facts
The young man reportedly said he was attacked by a group of people armed with helmets and bottles after an argument sparked by reckless driving. Only after being hit did he say he fought back, leading to tragic consequences. Autopsies performed on the victims' bodies confirmed the brutality of the event: Salvatore Turdo died from two shots to the chest and abdomen, while Massimo Pirozzo suffered a fatal shot to the neck. These details, in addition to highlighting the violence of the shooting, raise questions about the management of security and the prevention of such incidents.
The Monreale community in mourning
In response to this tragedy, the community of Monreale organized a silent torchlight procession in memory of the victims. Starting from the church of the Santissimo Crocifisso, the event saw the participation of numerous citizens, united in grief and in commemoration of those who are no longer with us. This gesture of solidarity represents not only a tribute to the lives lost, but also a call to reflection on how to prevent similar events in the future. The community gathers around the families affected, trying to find meaning in a tragedy that has left an indelible mark.
