Good. Marina Fontana did not want anyone to know of his generous gesture: to give the white dress with which he went to the altar before the tragedy that has separated from his love. Then he changed his mind and did well: this, after all, is a story of hope.

 

The wedding dress, white as love, he could not stay locked in a closet to grow mold with memories. So it became a gift for those who have nothing, as if it could be everything. Marina Fontana returns to tell his story: the fatal accident Autostrada del Sole that separated from her husband, Roberto Cona, when the car they were traveling was knocked down by a truck, after just a year of marriage; The battle for the murder road law. And the last decision: "I gave away my white dress to the parish of our wedding. I hope that a girl who can not afford it you wear it and smile for me. "

"I'm in love with the meaning of that dress - says Marina - donate it was a breath of love I wanted to go out: closed in its case, in the dark, did not make sense. And I think that Roberto, up there, is smiling and approving. When he saw me in church, she raised the veil and told me: 'you're just like I imagined, and you're beautiful.' "

Marina and Roberto, a bond that not even the fate, in the form of the crash, has dented. "I keep the frames of that day marked on the heart, to the present. We are returning to Sicily, on vacation, I, Palermo, married him, Palermo, both in Milan for business. We are beaming. A truck makes a pass in that stretch of motorway where it is not allowed. I get scared and he reassures me. I say 'love I trust you, is to them that I do not trust'. His answer. 'If you trust me do not worry, I'm here to protect you'. It was almost midnight on July 26, 2013 ". This, the brief chronicle of an endless tragedy.

Since then it has been a long and painful journey marked by courage, a slow reconstruction of sense, culminated in generous choice: "Donating the dress is a sign of respect for life that continues. Inside me it means: go love flies to other, give them happiness. I do not need a dress to know that love and happiness exist. " And there is also the determination of those who did not give up. The battle on the law for street murder, carried out with other people, mutilated in the affections and common solidarity: "I entered the world of the family members of victims of the road, I met so many stories like mine. Slowly it became a point of listening and there I realized that it was trying to make a team effort. "

 On a letter published some time ago, for LiveSicilia, Marina wrote: "I am a miracle, how it was destroyed the car had to be dead too, and instead I'm here, and if I'm alive I must be strong, I still want to believe in the good and I have to move on. Roberto has done so much good in life and even his death was a gift for many with the donation of his organs. So many people do not understand the good fortune that in order to embrace every day the people he loves ... ". Just like living in the dark, locked in a closet.
