A large crowd attended the funeral
on Monday of a 47-year-old teacher and her eight-year-old
daughter who were killed by the collapse of a Rome building
caused by an explosion of a gas leak on December 28.
The funeral was held at the church of San Francesco d'Assisi
in the southern Roman suburb of Acilia.
Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi, who was among those who wept at
the funeral, declared Monday a day of mourning in Rome.
The victims are Debora Caterini and her daughter Aurora.
They are survived by Caterini's husband Massimiliano and
their other child, Lorenzo.
