They ran several pizzerias in the Treviso and Venetian areas. They had been together forever. And they left together, 10 hours apart, on the same day. News that created emotion in Meolo where the two lived and where they were well known.
The couple had several pizzerias in the area, a passion for pizzas inherited from their parents. In fact, in the 1980s, Roberto Pillon helped his father in the open pizzeria in Meolo. Then with Lucia D’Andrea he opened another in Fossalta di Piave, and then yet another in Monastier, where there was also the last opening: the “Chic” pizzeria, managed together with Nicola, his son pizza chef, who today manages it.
Like many seventy-year-olds they had various pathologies. But nothing that would allow us to imagine the death, especially of both of them and so close at hand. Roberto Pillon was the sicker of the two: he had helped his children, Nicola and Roberta, to whom he and Lucia D’Andrea had left the pizzerias, as long as he had managed. Then an illness reduced his movements and he was eventually admitted to a retirement home in Monastir. At Easter he was hospitalized in Treviso hospital.
Right here it got worse. Last Thursday, the doctors informed his wife Lucia that her hopes were now nil: she, already ill, felt ill and fainted without ever recovering. Taken to hospital, doctors declared her death a few hours after her husband. Her funeral will be celebrated on Tuesday 11 June at 3.30 pm in the archpriest church of Meolo. Together in life and death.
