“It is with deep emotion and sadness that I turn to the community to express my most sincere condolences for the tragic passing of Mr. Shimpei Tominaga. His loss represents a serious and painful wound for Udine – declared the Mayor De Toni – . Those who knew him describe him as an esteemed and respected man and entrepreneur, who lived in Udine, contributing with passion and human and professional commitment to the development of the city, leaving his mark on our community. But it is above all for his last, courageous gesture that I wish to remember him today. In an attempt to quell an act of violence in our city center, Mr. Tominaga demonstrated an exceptional sense of civic responsibility and altruism, paying with his life. In an era in which we too often remain indifferent to others, his sacrifice represents an example of humanity and courage, values that our society increasingly needs. On behalf of the municipal administration and the entire city of Udine, I offer my deepest condolences to his wife Chinatsu, his 13-year-old son, and all his family and friends. In this moment of immense pain, we are close to you and offer you our most sincere support and solidarity. The fight against crime and violence requires a great commitment and today more than ever in Udine we need to restore peace and serenity in our city, also with strong actions that help guarantee the safety of the towns and citizens. Shimpei Tominaga set a great example, now we must follow him so that this doesn’t happen again in Udine.”
