The communities of Salò and Toscolano Maderno came together for a commemoration of the boating accident that led to the tragic loss of Greta Nedrotti and Umberto Garzarella four years ago. The event took place at the Garden of Palazzo Morgante, along the lakeside of Salò, where two weeping willows were planted in memory of the young individuals. The ceremony was attended by the mayors of the involved towns and the families of the victims, along with numerous citizens. During the gathering, a commemorative plaque was unveiled, highlighting the profound impact of the tragedy on the community.
The initiative not only represented a gesture of affection towards the affected families but also provided an opportunity for broader reflections on safety at sea. Indeed, in 2023, prompted by the echoes of the incident, the law on nautical homicide was approved, a crucial regulation aimed at ensuring greater safety in local waters. The message shared during the ceremony expressed the hope that the willows could symbolically embrace Greta and Umberto forever as they gaze out towards the gulf.
