The phone still doesn't ring at the Greco household; there's no news of Valentina. Since July 9th, the 42-year-old from Cagliari, who was working remotely from an apartment in Sidi Bou Said, 20 kilometers from Tunis, has seemingly vanished into thin air. Valentina Greco, a graduate of Legal Sciences in Rome, the city where she had worked for a UN-linked agency, has since graduated. However, due to her health conditions, with a condition that had manifested itself in the capital, she had chosen to live in a more comfortable environment.
Investigators (the Tunisian Gendarmerie, the Cagliari Carabinieri, and the Interpol Police) are continuing to investigate all possible causes. The first is that of voluntary abandonment . According to her family, Valentina Greco had studied the Quran, becoming interested in "Sufism," the mystical dimension of Islam. Her friends also speak of a holy man, a former pilot, whom she supposedly frequented with other people months ago. But, her brother Alessio reports, the man has since moved away. In any case, relatives maintain, Valentina never left her three cats alone, after they were found at home by the police.
Another possibility is that she was taken ill . As her mother, Roberta Murru, hopes, Valentina may have ended up in the hospital without documents. And she hasn't yet been identified. Then there's another possibility. Her mother speaks of a Tunisian man who, in recent weeks, allegedly insisted on seeing Valentina, but was refused.
The woman's parents, who run the newsstand in front of the Is Mirrionis hospital in Cagliari, are receiving numerous expressions of solidarity and support in this time of anxiety.
The Farnesina, also due to the media attention the Valentina Greco case is receiving, is in constant contact with the Algerian authorities.
