RAGUSA – The funeral of Gianni Cascone and Giusy Polizzi, the 2 musicians and teachers aged 56 and 53 who died in the terrible road accident which occurred in the night between last Saturday and Sunday, near at the Costanzo bridge, on Ragusa Modica. A large influx of friends and relatives is expected. The couple was well known for their professional activity. The two were traveling on a motorbike headed for Ragusa, returning from an evening in Scicli, when, for reasons to be ascertained, they had a head-on collision with a Renault Clio driven by a 28-year-old from Modica and headed for Modica, at of the flyover preceding the Costanzo viaduct. The 28-year-old who was driving the car is hospitalized at Giovanni Paolo II in Ragusa with a reserved prognosis, but her life is not in danger. Disbelief and dismay at the tragic news. The couple leaves behind 2 children.
“The Puntarazzi community mourns 2 true and sincere friends: Gianni Cascone and his wife Giusy – as stated in a statement released on social media – as of tonight they are no longer with us. A terrible accident took them away tonight, depriving the 2 children of their 2 beloved parents. The Puntarazzi community loses 2 pillars. Gianni is well known in the city, but also outside Ragusa, for being a musician of great caliber as well as a Friend of those with a capital A. Always ready to do his part for the community and for all the districts. Our heartfelt condolences and an affectionate hug which cannot replace that of their parents but shows how much we love them go to the 2 children who are experiencing this tragedy today, which takes their parents away from them.”
