Largo Christian Bartoli

Sign, largo Christian Bartoli, Antignano, LivornoOn January 19, 1998, 17-years-old Christian Bartoli died for a ruptured aneurysm after two days of intensive care. His parents chose to donate his organs, changing forever the lives of those who received them. In 1999 a small square near the “Tre Ponti” (Three Bridges) beach was named after him.

  6. Nice way to do positive things, but not always so easy to think out when you as a parent is in a situation like that.

  8. I never thought of having public recognition of those who give life after death. Maybe it is a good idea and would encourage others.

    The sign is unusual, simple, and nice.
    Rest in peace, Christian Bartoli.

  11. At a painful time like that, it must have been very hard for the parents to concentrate on the needs of others. Nice way to recognize and remember the young man.
