I say unfortunately because Rudy is not a star and after 14 years he would like to be forgotten - the words of Claudio Mariani, who teaches at the Criminological Studies Center in Viterbo and followed Guede in his entire detention process - the curtain should fall on every story sooner or later. Rudy in the morning at 8 he takes up service as a volunteer at the Caritas canteen and in the afternoon he works in the library of our study center to support himself. to add to this story except the fact that the life of a young English girl was cut short and from her family we were able to learn the great dignity and value of silence. Also for this reason today Rudy would like to continue to work for others, work and above all to remain silent ".
