Piero Angela, a month ago the disappearance: the message of his son Alberto

“Dear friends, today is exactly one month since my father passed away.” Thus begins, on Facebook, Alberto Angela’s message dedicated to his father Piero but also to the wave of affection that has surrounded the conductor and his family in the last month. “I would like to thank all of you – he writes – for the incredible and emotional displays of affection that have invested our whole family after the death of our father. 30 days are a short time to mourn for such a dear person. They were intense days, I spent at times frantically in the whirlwind of strong emotions experienced and in the management of events related to the disappearance of my father. But these 30 days were also full of slow moments, of pause, of reflection, of listening, of time dedicated to reading all the demonstrations of esteem and affection that have come down to us “. “I wanted to read them all, one by one, your messages – continues Alberto Angela -. And I thank you, in my name and that of all our family, for your words. It is beautiful, and a source of great pride, to see that Piero has been part, in one way or another, of the life of all of you. And it is equally beautiful to note that his desire to transmit the knowledge that he has carried forward throughout his life, up to the last day, has generated important results. Some are already ripe fruits, as evidenced by the many messages of adults who tell that Piero is also interested in the various “fields of knowledge.” And, in some cases – says the conductor -, of having made it a profession. Others are sprouts, those of the young people he thought of and committed himself to until the last day of his long life “. “Thanks to all of you – he remarks – for the affection, esteem, closeness, warmth that my whole family and I have felt in these difficult days. They have been a huge comfort and an incentive to move forward. Now – he explains the presenter and popularizer – it’s time to take a deep breath and leave again, even for me who started traveling again for my work, preparing the broadcasts that you will see in the coming months. Also because, as my father wrote in his last message, he he has done his part, now it is up to us, to each of us, to do ours. A warm hug to all of you. Thank you. Alberto “, he concludes.
