The glasses were just topped up, the buzz of the guests were mixed with the soft noise of the sea in the background. In star restaurant Essenza in Terracina, about a hundred kilometers south of Rome, the evening was dominated by refined flavors and summer elegance – until suddenly, with a deafening roar, the roof collapsed. Sommelier Mara Severin (31) was seriously injured under the rubble. Moments later she would die in the hospital. Ten other people were injured. A tragedy in a place known for its class, his peace, his perfection.
