“I’m going home”. Luca Ivan Vavassori, the 29-year-old former footballer, adopted son of Alessandra Sgarella, kidnapped by the ‘Ndrangheta in 1997 and died in 2011 of an illness, has decided to leave Ukraine and the atrocities of the war. “I’m fed up – writes Vavassori in the post published on Instagram, in Spanish -, that’s enough for me. It’s time to go home, I no longer have the head to go on. I did everything possible to help. I took time and life available to the Ukrainian people, but now it is time to take my life back. I go back to where I am happy and I come back to take back everything that is mine. Things have changed a lot since I left, but I am sure that with the help from God I will reach my goals. And she (referring to a woman) is in first place in these “. The words are accompanied by a photo of an airplane porthole.
