Alla fine dell’esecuzione, il Sindaco, oltre a ringraziare tutti i presenti, saluta con affetto il prof. Francesco Como, purtroppo assente per una lieve influenza. Valoroso reduce della seconda guerra mondiale, attuale presidente della sezione reggina dell’Associazione nazionale mutilati e invalidi di guerra, il prof. Como non aveva mai saltato un 4 novembre, portando la testimonianza vissuta della lunga partecipazione alla guerra, segnata da lontananza da casa e mancanza di comunicazioni con la famiglia, combattimenti, fame, sete, intemperie climatiche, morte...
Cattolico convinto ed impegnato, il prof. Como è anche un amico ed un collaboratore saltuario ma precious Scillachiese that tightens around him in a loving embrace in this time of temporary indisposition.
The new pastor of the 'Immacolata "Don Francesco Cuzzocrea adds his thoughts to the Mayor, making prayer and giving his blessing to the laurel wreath at the monument and those present in remembrance of the fallen, while the first trumpeter of the band tunes up famous and poignant "Silence."
The "Song of the Italians" or "Inno di Mameli", always to run the orchestra Scilla, is the right conclusion of patriotism and an intense morning of reflection and prayer for Peace.
