President Sergio Mattarella has
awarded one of Italy's top honours, the gold medal, posthumously
to two people recently killed while trying to help others,
21-year-old Willy Duarte and 51-year-old priest Father Roberto
Malgesini.
Duarte was beaten to death at Colleferro, near Rome, last month
after trying to defend a friend who was being attacked.
Malgesini, who worked to help the poor and marginalised, was
stabbed to death in central Como by a homeless migrant with
mental-health problems.
