A commemorative mass in memory of Sergio Di Loreto, the policeman killed last November 23 at the Soddì polygon, in the Oristano area, by a gunshot accidentally fired from a colleague's weapon during an exercise, is scheduled for Saturday 4. December.

The ceremony, explains Francesco Paolo Russo, Siap national executive, will be held at 12 in the Regina Pacis church in Ostia Lido.

"I ask for a mass presence at the commemoration of our Brother Sergio Di Loreto who was killed by a tragic fatality last November 23", says Russo.

"Sergio was an incredible man - he continues - a loving and present father, a husband, a son, a brother like none in the world ... he was also a great policeman".

"On Saturday we must make our Love and a great presence felt to a man who has given us his life", the conclusion.

In recent days in Agrigento, the city where Di Loreto lived and served, the funeral was held in the presence of the Chief of the State Police Lamberto Giannini and other authorities and institutional representatives.

Sergio Di Loreto was 48 years old, he leaves behind two children and his wife. The latter, during the mass, did not detach even for a moment from the police shirt that belonged to her husband.

Many paid tribute to Sergio "Iron Man", as he was known by most because of his sporting streak that had led him to compete in various marathons.
