(ANSA) - Rome, July 27 - Italian President Sergio Mattarella on Wednesday commemorated the ''barbaric murder'' of Italian researcher Giulio Regeni earlier this year in Egypt, speaking of the ''sad events'' that have recently struck Italians.
    The president said ''many fellow citizens have lost their lives or are still dealing with the consequences of these events'', mentioning the terror attack in Dhaka on July 4, in which nine of the 20 victims were from Italy, the July 12 train accident in Puglia that left 23 dead and the July 14 terror attack in Nice in which 84 were killed, including six Italians.
