Genoa, maid disappeared into thin air: 18 years later the pain is intact – Primocanale.it
It was January 2, 2004, a storm raged over Genoa: at six in the morning in a house in Viale Pio VII, in Quarto, in Genoa, you hear a door closing.
There we lose the traces of Maddalena Piras, 62, who disappears into thin air and has never been found again.
The woman is sixty thousand people who in Italy have disappeared into thin air: as if swallowed by a black hole.
Newborn Magdalene in the house of the Perasso family, where she was a nanny, a second mom for Claudia Perasso and her twin, who have never resigned themselves to the disappearance of the nanny, “like a mother to us, a grandmother to our children, an exceptional woman”.
After reporting the searches, the report to “Who has seen it?” of a Milanese who says he has escorted her on the Varazze seafront, even phone calls from “jackals” who wanted to make money on the accident, reported to the carabinieri. Then also the discovery of a body in the sea on the French Riviera, the car race to France for recognition, but it wasn’t her.
After eighteen years Claudia Perasso, who now lives in Pegli, is perhaps resigned, even if her nanny might still be alive, she could be an eighty-year-old like many others, but the hope inside her is perhaps still burning: “I’m here to remember her as I also wrote on Facebook, because my Lena was special, a nanny and an exceptional woman, “says Maddalena with affection: “She was small, one and 52 tall and limping with a pain in her knee, here are her latest photos …” she says with still shining eyes, the confirmation that nanny Lena has disappeared but still alive, alive in the heart of those who loved her and still love her as they loved her that terrible January 2 18 years ago.
