I am Katiuscia, indeed no… I was Katiuscia and I dreamed of a normal life…

of Maria Luigia Alimena

She is Katiuscia Favero. Had 30 years. Katiuscia died dreaming of normality, the one he had lost since’ adolescence.
A 13 years he had known drugs. Perhaps the way out of adolescent problems. Perhaps the way of feeling adult. Girls at that age want to control the rush of their emotions.
Katiuscia was a girl with the gift of enchantment, of fragility and hope. A virtue and a condemnation together.

In 2002 steal a watch. His psychological problems become an opportunity for the state to do justice to that fragility, it's a borderline. She is placed in the psychiatric hospital among the mothers who murdered their children. An excessive sentence for someone who stole a watch.

Inside the hospital another ordeal begins. She is repeatedly abused by a doctor and two nurses. Katiuscia denounces. She is transferred to the Genoa prison. It is the sentence that she must serve for having rebelled in the shadow of the system.
She is crazy, his word is zero, like his abused body, like his soul murdered once again.
The medical report confirms the abuses, but mysteriously that certificate that gives her reason disappears.
Once again the shadows of the system. Her word is as zero as the lacerations imprinted on her vagina.

Katiuscia is crazy. She is crazy because she knows the shadows of the system, those that must not appear to others. She is reinserted in the psychiatric hospital, other department, same doctor. The shadow of the system still looms. And the 2005, call mother Katiuscia: mom help me strange things happen here. It is his last sentence to his mother. 13 days later she would go home, family reintegration would be his cure.
Katiuscia just needed love, home, family like any fragile woman in the world.

The 16 November 2005 is found hanged to a fence in the only place not equipped with OPG cameras. His knees touched the ground. Her pants streaked with grass and mud as if she had been dragged.

“Madam, your daughter's latest prank, she killed herself” this is the communication of his death to his mother.
Too many shadows in a suicide that has nothing to do with suicide.

Katiuscia wanted to live. He wanted to take back the interrupted life a 13 years. Katiuscia wanted to feed on love, to warm herself in the sun she missed in those white rooms of the “asylum of the wise” that a rotten system had imposed on her as a cure.

A controversial legal matter, stained by the holes of a guarantee system that kills the weak, the needy, the marginalized, the fragile. Katiuscia as Cucchi. But Stefano had his justice, albeit late. Katiuscia will never have justice. The case was dismissed for lack of evidence in 2008.
Katiuscia has been killed a thousand times, Katiuscia was violated by silence.
His soul has peace, but whoever killed it still operates in the name of the system, in the name of unjust justice, which punishes and desecrates the fragility of those who, despite making mistakes, have the right to live, has the right to be respected above its charm and its fragility.
