Valentina Greco, the forty-two-year-old from Cagliari who disappeared in Tunisia for 10 days and was found yesterday in her apartment in Sidi Bou Said , a tourist resort not far from Tunis where she has lived for several years, could be questioned tomorrow by the Tunisian authorities.

Her brother, it has been learned, is about to join her. The woman is in good physical condition.

According to the official version, Valentina Greco felt ill while cleaning a closet and fainted. But too many elements of the story don't add up.

Given that a happy ending is what matters, the story ended in a stranger way than it began. "Now the Tunisian health system is treating Valentina Greco, who is not in danger of dying, and that's the most important thing," begins lawyer Gianfranco Piscitelli, president of the Penelope association in Sardinia, which supports the families and friends of people who disappear. "Now that she's safe," adds the lawyer, "we're asking ourselves a few questions. How did she survive ten days without food or water, in the closet? And what kind of inspection did the Tunisian Gendarmerie carry out in her apartment in recent days, considering they didn't find her? " Even Alessio, Valentina's brother, is unconvinced: "We want to understand exactly what happened, so no comment."

Sidi Bou Said is a charming seaside resort about twenty kilometers from Tunis. The Cagliari-born activist, who holds a degree in legal sciences, settled there, never returning to Cagliari. Her family was worried because a Tunisian friend had recently approached her about a romantic relationship, which she refused. The man replied, saying he never wanted to see her again. Valentina Greco's interest in Sufism, a mystical branch of Islam, also raised concerns. She was drawn to Sufism by a former pilot, described as a kind of "holy man," who, however, left Sidi Bou Said a few months ago. Greco remained there to work remotely and deepen her knowledge of the Quran. She will now have to undergo treatment for the shock brought on by ten days without food or water, but she is alive.
