406,522. These are the updated data of those who - in the fight against COVID-19 - lost.
Never as in these days and months we have been anguished by numbers. Uphill data, curves that continued to grow and seemed never to stop. Numbers projected on the large screens of national TVs as well as on the smaller ones of our smartphones. The numbers of tragedy, of fear, with which we tried to build the illusion of understanding something of what was happening.
But it's important to reiterate, and that's what we want to do on this page, what they are. These numbers are not just numbers. These numbers are not just data.
They are people. They are memories. They are stories too, which now only someone else can tell.
Therefore, united in the recognition of the weight of the void that these stories have left, we dedicate, all together, as a one single mind, this space to their undeath memory.
