Recent Community Passings Bring Mourning and Tributes Across Regions

Several communities are mourning the recent passing of notable local figures, ranging from legal professionals and business leaders to dedicated community members. Funeral services and memorial gatherings have been scheduled across different regions to honor their memories.

In Breno, the community is remembering Giacomo Ducoli, a 71-year-old accountant and bankruptcy trustee whose career was closely tied to the high-profile bankruptcy case of the former Selca plant in Berzo Demo. A graduate in Business Administration from Bocconi University in Milan, Ducoli had practiced since 1979 and handled over a hundred bankruptcy trustee appointments for the Court of Brescia.

Ducoli's work on the Selca case involved managing complex environmental and economic challenges following the plant's 2010 bankruptcy, which left thousands of tons of hazardous industrial waste at the facility. Over the years, he faced two trials related to the situation, resulting in acquittals, with judges determining that his actions did not constitute a crime. Recently, the situation saw a breakthrough as the first trucks carrying the stored waste departed for Germany, an operation funded by the bankruptcy estate.

Beyond his professional career, Ducoli served as president of the Association of Chartered Accountants in Valle Camonica, led the Panathlon Club Vallecamonica for fourteen years, and worked as a ski instructor and tennis enthusiast. He is survived by his wife Gabriella, his sister Raffaella, and two nephews. A prayer vigil was scheduled at the Domus Aurea Facchini in Breno, with his funeral services set to take place at the local cathedral.

Meanwhile, the legal community in Reggio Emilia is grieving the loss of attorney Daiana Lombardi, who passed away at the age of 42. A member of the Bar Association council, Lombardi originated from Sora in the Frosinone province and settled in Reggio after completing her studies in Bologna, specializing in civil and succession law.

Lombardi leaves behind her mother Sandra, her husband Andrea, and a 10-year-old son. Memorial services, including the recitation of the rosary, were planned at the Croce Verde Funeral Home, followed by a funeral mass at Santo Stefano and burial in Rivalta beside her late father, Lucio.

In Modena, family and friends are mourning Giorgio Nora, who passed away at the age of 90. Known as the former owner of 'La Torre' and 'Da Enzo' restaurants, Nora's passing was announced by his wife Argia, along with his granddaughters Giulia, Gloria, and Chiara, and daughter-in-law Simona.

Funeral services for Nora were scheduled to depart from the Modena Policlinic Hospital mortuary rooms toward the Parish Church of La Pieve in Nonantola for a Holy Mass, followed by interment at the local cemetery. The family expressed gratitude to Dr. Gianluigi Monari for the care provided during his life.
