Death of Salvatore Giordano, civil hearing in Naples after 13 years

"Salvatore Giordano was 13 years old when a frieze from the Umberto I Gallery in Naples fell on him: he died four days later. And for thirteen years his family has still been waiting for compensation." This was recalled by lawyers Angelo and Sergio Pisani, lawyers for the Giordano family who, they say, after the criminal conviction, have obtained the setting of a civil hearing scheduled for January 15th before the judge of the Court of Naples, Dr. Ragosta, from whom they will ask for "compensation for damages for procedural liability aggravated by the lack of compensation for over 13 years since the fact".

"No sum will be able to restore Salvatore - explain the two professionals - but it is unacceptable that a family that has lost a child in these absurd ways has to wait twelve years to get what it deserves".

Angelo and Sergio Pisani also announce a complaint to the regional prosecutor's office of the Court of Auditors, so that any responsibility for delays that have aggravated the burdens on the public coffers can be ascertained: "Whoever allowed interests and expenses to increase will have to answer for them.

The family cannot pay again for a tragedy they have already paid for with the loss of Salvatore. After 13 years, we are finally asking for justice and full compensation."

Finally, they announce, a denunciation book will be released on the case which will shed light on the serious responsibilities of all the protagonists of the affair.
