On the evening of June 3, 2017, a series of waves of panic in the crowd following the Champions League final between Juventus and Real Madrid on a large screen in Piazza San Carlo caused 1,600 injuries and, subsequently, the death of two women, Erika Pioletti and Marisa Amato.

Marisa Amato's family members are entitled to a salary of 1.1 million euros, 500 thousand to her husband and 300 thousand to each of the two children. The civilian responsible are the vomune of Turin and the Ministry of the Interior.

“Unfortunately, the sentence will not bring Marisa Amato back to life. The hope is therefore that this decision, of undoubted legal impact in the areas of safety and security, will also become a cultural stimulus so that tragedies of this type do not repeat themselves ", comments the lawyer Nicola Menardo, of Studio Grande Stevens, patron of the party civil law for the woman's family members.
