die for their choice to sixteen years: the suicide of Francesca Dalla Valle, the second student at the institute where I teach in, places a moral issue first that a devastating sense of helplessness. Francesca, who was killed at his home in La Thuile, Villaret in place shortly after 20:30 of Saturday, March 4. Parents Franco and Antonio , rated tradesmen ski area, which they found the body in his bedroom, unable to find peace. His death was a plan well premeditated and planned in detail: she was barricaded in the house, shutting the door and, without making too much noise, not to alert the aunt and uncle who live upstairs, you went to the safe, opened it, took the gun of his father, (duly registered and declared because the father is the proprietor of the only gold of La Thuile), sat on the bed, and turning against the weapon, he shot on the chest with coolness and decision. On scivania a terse note to parents: 'you were wonderful parents. Not you cry for me ' .
Monday for the resumption of classes, no one wants to talk about it, I for one, despite a student wondering urged reflection, explanation, comment which of course I could not and wanted to how to justify such an act. I played my regular program of analysis of the poetic text explaining two poems that are among the landmarks of Italian romantic poetry: : " To himself " of Giacomo Leopardi and "The Evening " by Ugo Foscolo , two diametrically opposed poems which itself contained a whole world, an explanation, a reason for the extreme action of Francesca. The "cosmic pessimism" and the renunciation of the possibility to feel happiness through the love of Leopardi, beautifully put poetry in "To himself " opposed to the idea of \u200b\u200bnever-ending challenge, struggle and redemption even against death, enunciated by Foscolo in " the evening." This was my explanation for unexplained gesture, this the art of poetry that explains the world, this is the reason that prompted me to not look for explanations, not to give interpretations of the facts of record, never to talk to Frank and his suicide, but to talk through the immortality of poetry. Francesca Della Valle as Dante Pier Della Vigna (Divine Comedy - Inferno Canto XII - 7th circle 2nd round - violent against themselves), similar names, similar fates, both suicides "maybe" for no real reason
