Among the tributes published in these hours in memory of Ythan Romano and Patrick Zola, also those of the artists from Nuoro, with the graphic designer-cartoonist Raffaele Pikereddu and the designer Luciano Cucca.
On Tuesday, Pikereddu, no stranger to emotional creations, disclosed a depiction in which very young people are portrayed from behind while walking hand in hand. Dozens of comments and shares followed, with the memory of acquaintances and friends of the young victims of Via Dessanay.
«I didn't know the boys – says Pikereddu – but I was touched by a great emotion. And so the day after the sad event, while I was working on some graphic representations, I also created one that would commemorate our young fellow citizens. I imagined Patrick and Ythan, together even on their last journey. In these hours I want to send a big hug to the family."
And on Wednesday evening Cucca also honored the memory of the boys with an oil painting, in which they are portrayed in smiling poses. Accompany it with the writing “Hello Ythan, hello Patrick”.
«I have always colored with pencils, dedicating myself mainly to portraiture – says Cucca – I imagined the boys embraced and united in their great friendship. I thought that the older of the two, Patrick, was carrying Ythan on his shoulders, supporting each other. I made a single copy, trying to give vent to my emotions. I didn't know the boys, but they are sons of the whole city. My thoughts in these hours are with the families."
And today evening, coinciding with the torchlight procession, Cucca published a video in which the work created appears in chiaroscuro with the city in the background, united in pain.
