Italy on Saturday marks its third
national day of remembrance of the victims of the COVID-19
pandemic.
"Today we remember and honour the many victims who fell to the
blows of the COVID pandemic," said Senate Speaker Ignazio La
Russa.
"Fortunately, the most dramatic period is behind us.
"Science was decisive, as was the dedication of the health
personnel, whose contribution will remain in our memories".
A ceremony took place in Bergamo, the Italian city hit hardest
in the first wave of the pandemic, featuring Mayor Giorgio Gori,
Defence Minister Guido Crosetto and Health Minister Orazio
Schillaci.
