 "A person is born, then gets lost in nothingness, the story doesn't close, it has no end. I, who have been a widow since before my children were abducted, go to the cemetery, to my husband's grave, and I know that he is there. However, even though I know my children have been killed, I know nothing else, and this is terrible... When our children disappeared, we mothers were treated as crazy, we were told they were out there somewhere, wandering around Europe, that they were hiding because they wanted to stay away from us. It was a tremendous psychological violence". Angela "Lita" Boitano, mother of Michelangelo and Adriana, abducted and never returned.
