The father of one of
the victims of this week's highway-bridge collapse in Genoa on
Friday demanded that those who are to blame face justice before
his son's funeral in Torre del Greco, near Naples.
"My son was killed. He was the victim of a terrible destiny
but also of those who did think about the children of people who
today are so desperate and who were on the bridge," said Roberto
Battiloro, the father of 29-year-old Giovanni Battiloro.
Giovanni Battiloro died along with three friends from Torre
del Greco - Matteo Bertonati, Gerardo Esposito and Antonio
Stanzione.
"The State did not protect its citizens," Roberto Battiloro
said.
"As of tomorrow there will be a battle to find those who are
guilty of the death of Giovanni, of his friends and of all the
other deaths. They cannot just be a number".
