The moving dedications for the death of maestro Camilleri
Luca Zingaretti writes a very long post on Instagram, moving and delicate, dedicated to Camilleri to whom he has been close for many years:
"And in the end you surprised me once again and left us. Despite the increasingly tragic news, I hoped until the last that you would open your eyes and apostrophize us with one of your phrases, all to be listened to, all to be kept.
Instead, the time has come to remember. To look for the words to explain who Andrea Camilleri will always be for me. A Master first of all, a man faithful to his thought always loyal, always on the side of the truth "that has told all of us and our country.
Will miss you. It is inevitable, it is a duty. For your artistic, cultural, intellectual and above all human stature.
Your words will always remain with the same simplicity and with the "immense generosity and wisdom with which you shared them, from the free and proud mind that you are".
Below is the full post:
But it was not the only one: even Luca Zingaretti's wife, Luisa Ranieri, shared a photo of her husband next to Camilleri on her Instagram profile, with a simple but very clear accompanying phrase:
Goodbye master !!! # andreacamilleri # commissariomontalbano #grandezza #cultura #maestrodivita.
Because this is precisely what we are talking about, a teacher of life, of culture, of peace.
Fabio Fazio, who hosted Camilleri for years in his program "Che tempo che fa", wanted to remember him like this:
"With infinite sadness I write these words to remember Andrea #Camilleri. A kind, courageous and generous man. An intellectual with a heart. A clear person whose honesty has guided us and consoled us. From today we are all more alone".
Luciana Litizzetto, with whom Fazio shared the scene every Sunday and the honor of having hosted important personalities such as Camilleri, remembers it with a simple sentence but of immense value:
"You will be light forever." This sentence accompanies in his post the sharing of a video in which Camileri denounces, with his punctual and frank action, how much society is growing today's young people in the wrong way: "we are educating a youth to "hatred, because it is too difficult, because we have lost the sense of values".
Many others still wanted to participate in this giant condolence that starts from the entertainment world, passing through music and reaching politics.
Here are just a few, for example:
Linen Pillow: "For the dreams given to my adolescence and to that of all of us, for the courage and tenacity you witnessed, for the maturity and the ability to dare to which you showed the non-obvious reconciliation ... thank you, Maestro Camilleri"
Simona Ventura: "Goodbye Andrea Camilleri, cultural heritage of our time"
Roberto Saviano: "Goodbye Andrea, and thank you! Thank you Maestro, for always taking sides, for never seeking comfortable neutrality"
But not only them, here are some of the most moving messages of condolence, from that of Laura Boldrini to that of Emma Marrone:
