Mourning in the family of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella.

At the age of 62, Maria Mattarella, lawyer, general secretary of the Sicilian Region, daughter of the former President of the Region - brother of the former Head of State - Piersanti Mattarella, killed by the mafia on January 6, 1980, died in Palermo.

She had been fighting an incurable disease for some time and died, as far as we know, surrounded by the affection of her children and relatives.

She was married to Alessandro Argiroffi, a university professor of Philosophy of Law, who died prematurely in 2015. When her father Piersanti was killed, Maria was 18 years old and was in the back seat of the bullet-riddled car.
