"Unfortunately yesterday we witnessed something indescribable, you understand how things can change at any moment. For a few minutes I thought I was dying." This is the testimony of Roberto Di Matteo, from Modena who was in the Polish city yesterday when an attacker started shooting into the crowd, killing six people and wounding 16.

The young man was part of the same group of Italians as Umberto Orsini from Bologna, who already yesterday on social media had described the scene he witnessed. "We were there, in Piazza del Mercato - adds Di Matteo - we heard gunshots, we saw many people running, we hid in a bar, we got lost with friends. They were really difficult moments, difficult to talk about. They are moments that can hardly be forgotten. In a few seconds you realize how fragile life is and how thin the border is between normality and a tragedy", he adds.
