Chiara Mocchi, the teacher stabbed last Wednesday by one of her students in Trescore Balneraio, in a new letter dictated in the last few hours "in a feeble voice", lists a series of people to whom she owes her life , starting with the 118 air rescue team that transferred her to the Papa Giovanni XXIII hospital in Bergamo, where she is still hospitalized: "professionals, but above all human beings whom I will never forget".
But above all, her lawyer, Angelo Lino Murtas , originally from Arbus , in the Cagliari area. "A thought that moves me. I think, and it's not a dream, that the blood now flowing in mine is that of my lawyer Angelo Lino Murtas, a full-time Avis donor for over 45 years, who has saved the lives of so many people and who had donated blood just the day before at the Avis branch in Monterosso, Bergamo." She continues: "Like him, there are thousands of anonymous people who offer a part of themselves without wanting anything in return. Gestures that seem small, but become enormous when they save a life. It's the same spirit with which my father founded Avis-Aido in the Media Val Cavallina, with that motto that I've always held dear: 'A drop of blood can save a life.' Perhaps my father never imagined that one day that life would be his daughter's." Chiara Mocchi's hope is that whoever reads her letter "will find the courage and will to become a donor."
Angelo Lino Murtas has lived in Bergamo since October 8, 1984 , when a young 23-year-old inspector arrived from Arbus to take up service at the then Custra barracks in Monterosso . At the entrance, he met another newcomer, Officer Antonio Montinaro, who would later become head of Judge Giovanni Falcone's security detail and lose his life in the Capaci massacre of 1992. The two became fast friends and that same evening went to dinner together in the Upper Town. From the Walls, they admired the view and instantly fell in love with the city. "Then I swore I'd never leave again," Murtas later recalled. Murtas's position in Treviglio, upon reaching retirement age, was later taken by another Sardinian, Deputy Commissioner Marco Cadeddu.
