At the weekend the local news reported that a women had been murdered in San Lorenzo di Campo, a town about 15 minutes drive away. Talking with some friends on Sunday they told us that the woman, Gabriella Petrolati, 42, was born and grew up in San Giorgio and was now living in San Lorenzo. She had recently left her partner and had started a new relationship. On the evening of the murder she had gone to the home of her previous partner to collect some things and he had murdered her. As she hadn’t returned home the current partner had called the police and when they went to the ex-partner’s home they forced an entry and discovered the body.
It was a very large funeral as even though she was no longer living in San Giorgio most of the 40 somethings in San Giorgio had gone to school with her and the parents are still living here.
