(ANSA) – PESCARA, JUNE 28 – While Pescara is still in shock over the brutal murder of 16-year-old Christopher Thomas Luciani and while many parents of very young people are wondering whether the city is safe or not, the Adriatic capital is preparing to experience another summer weekend, with evenings at the beaches and events, just five days after the crime. Among the main initiatives is the Pescara leg of the Rds Summer Festival, which starts tonight. The event, free but with mandatory registration, will attract thousands of young people to the city. Many are already queuing, despite the fact that access opens at 7 pm. During the first evening, Alex Wyse, Benji & Fede, Gazzelle, Leon Faun, Ludwig and Mediterraneo will perform. The initiative takes place at the Stadio del Mare, right in the center, on the stretch of beach in front of the ‘Nave di Cascella’, a fountain that now appears surrounded by barriers. For the occasion, traffic has been revolutionized, with traffic and parking bans throughout the area. There are also many events scheduled for Friday evening in the city’s beach resorts. Tomorrow, in addition to Italy’s match in Euro2024 and the events on the seafront, there will be the second evening of the Rds Summer Festival. In Pescara, today, there will be a day of mourning from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., in conjunction with the funeral of young Christopher Thomas, which will be held at 5:00 p.m. in Rosciano, the town 15 km from the capital where the boy grew up.
