The body of Lorenzo Orsetti, a
33-year-old Florence native who was fighting with the Kurdish
YPG militia and who ISIS said it killed in a battle at Baghuz in
eastern Syria, has been recovered and talen to a hospital in
Iraqi Kurdistan, Orsetti's uncle Luca Rasoti told a press
conference in Florence on Wednesday.
Orsetti's father Alessandro thanked Kurdish militants for
undertaking a military action to recover the body.
"Lorenzo would have wanted to be buried in the cemetery of
Kurdish martyrs, but he left the choice up to us; a choice I
hope no (other) parent ever has to make," Orsetti's father said.
