She had seen that tree made of thoughts and stories during a trip to Thailand, and now that she is forced to face her greatest loss, she thought that that tree could help remember Laertes, her son, and bring her family together. friends.
“A tree grows and I hope that together with the bench and the plaque, they become a meeting point for many of its friends” said mother Senia Pocci at the inauguration which was held a few days ago in the Tolomei Gardens in the Tartuca district .
“I must thank the municipality of Siena which was very close to us. We wanted to buy the tree ourselves, but instead the municipality wanted to donate both the tree and the bench painted by a Sienese artist Caterina Manganelli and also the plaque. In short, everyone was close to us and showed how much they loved Laertes.”
But the project continues with thoughts written on fabric or copper: “Everything will be sewn together by the flag makers of the district and transformed into a tapestry that will remain in the Tartuca” explained Laertes’ cousin, Samantha Vichi.
The tree made his family realize how much Laertes meant to everyone.
