Why It Matters
On January 1, 2026, a fire destroyed the Constellation venue in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, during New Year's Eve celebrations. Four students from the Virgilio high school in Milan were seriously injured, while a fifth student, Achille Barosi, lost his life. The owners of the place, the Moretti couple, are accused of having fled without helping the kids in difficulty.
The emotion of returning to school and the desire to return to normality. The four students of the Virgilio in Milan, who were seriously injured in the Crans-Montana fire on New Year's Eve, namely Leonardo Bove, Francesca Nota, Sofia Donadio and Kean Talingdan, will meet again tomorrow among the desks of the fourth D of the high school of human sciences.
Together they told their feelings on Tg2 and Tg5: "It changes my day, which was now home-hospital and hospital-home. The goal is to be 100% independent - Kean said on Tg2 -. Go out with friends and have fun".
For Leonardo it is "another step that allows us to say that we will return to normality. I want to go back to going out normally and playing football". Tomorrow "your heart will surely beat very fast when you see everyone again" and maybe "a few tears will fall", with your thoughts going to Achille Barosi, who didn't make it that night: "I left the hospital on his birthday, I think it was him who let me out".
Francesca, on Tg5, explained that tomorrow it will be "an indescribable emotion" to go back to school, even if "I'm afraid of walking through the corridors, being looked at and maybe not being understood". But still "we can't do anything but look in the mirror and accept ourselves as we are". "The fact that all four of us will be returning to school will be very nice and will make us laugh a lot, I can't wait - added Sofia -. We told our classmates to take seats all next to each other".
There remains bitterness and anger towards the Moretti couple, owners of the Constellation: "The lady - commented Francesca - took and ran away when there were boys who are no longer there who were there to take the jacket for everyone". For Leonardo "they took responsibility for opening the place, they must also take responsibility for what happened".
"Seeing that you caused all this pain to some kids - concluded Kean - should have a certain effect on you."
