As France and the world mourn the casualties of Friday’s
atrocities in Paris, tributes have been made to Valeria Solesin who was
mercilessly shot and killed at the Bataclan concert hall
A young Italian student has been named as one of the many casualties of Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris.
At least 129 people were murdered in simultaneous gun and bomb strikes across the city.
The majority of those killed were Paris citizens celebrating the end of the work week in restaurants, the Bataclan concert hall and the Stade de France as France and Germany played a friendly match.
However, it has now been confirmed that 28-year-old Valeria Solesin, native of Venice, was also amongst the casualties.
Her mother led the tributes to the outgoing music fan, who was at the time enjoying an Eagles of Death Metal concert at the Bataclan concert hall.
“Valeria was a wonderful person,” her mother Luciana stated. “That is the only thing we should remember her as at this time.”
Italy President Sergio Mattarella offered his condolences to the family in the wake of their loss.
“Dear parents of Valeria,” he stated. “I am writing to let you hear the condolences and solidarity offered by myself and Italy as a whole.
“Valeria was a daughter of Italy and a daughter of Europe.
“She was killed at the hands of barbarians, fuelled by fanaticism and hatred against our civilisation and its values of democracy, freedom and coexistence.
“Valeria was killed, along with many other people, because she represented the future of Europe, our future.”
