For 6 weeks, Lorena (27) sat in the assize room every day with her notebook. Now that death driver Paolo Falzone has been given 27 years, she wants to start grieving

“Maybe now we can finally start mourning,” says Lorena Cascarano after an intense assize trial about the deaths of seven people in the carnival tragedy in Strépy-Bracquegnies, including her mother, father and godfather.
