Flowers, applause and a lot of emotion, a welcome home for Ilaria Saladdino like an explosion of joy that leaves you breathless .

One year after the tragedy, the city of Porto Torres has once again embraced that daughter who miraculously escaped a brutal attack . Everyone was there to welcome her in via Principessa Giovanna: her sister Giusy and her husband Franco, the greatest support for her rebirth. And then the two-year-old twins who will celebrate their birthday tomorrow with their mother.

But there were also friends, acquaintances, the mayor Massimo Mulas and the deputy mayor Simona Fois, the prime minister Franco Satta, the carabinieri, and above all the neighbors who on 26 February last year intervened to help Ilaria and to his parents, Basilio Saladdino and Liliana Mancusa, who died under the cruel blows of the hatchet, the weapon used by the murderer Fulvio Baule .

Ilaria's ex-husband, 40, is in prison on charges of double murder and attempted aggravated murder. But this morning seemed like another story. There was a big party, a gift that Ilaria Saladdino received and gave to the city. «Thank you all», she said tense, moved and with a great desire to be among the people, a desire for love and the desire to forget , to face the long and difficult ascent, but with the strength of a large family hit hard.
