Istanbul – “A small sigh of relief in such horror: this time Italy has not paid with blood and with the life of his youth, in yet another terrorist massacre, but it has been sheer luck. ‘We survived throwing ourselves on the ground and dodging the shots, with the killer firing point blank”: this is written in an article on La Repubblica. “Five Italian kids who work in Istanbul – three from Modena, one from Palermo and one from Brescia. Yesterday they told their story to the local television TRC Telemodena. For the whole day, on New Years Day, the offices of the Italian Consulate in Istanbul stayed open with the fear of having to cry a new mourning after that of Fabrizia Lorenzo, who was killed in Berlin at the Christmas market. But luckily they received messages, and as of last night just a few victims were still nameless and without documents. There are no Italians injured either. ” (9Colonne)
