“Michela #Murgia has decided to get married, defining #marriage as “#patriarchal and limited”. Michela, you had many alternatives, but you chose marriage. Perhaps because you know that it is the highest form of recognition of love between a man and a woman. Greetings and get well soon!” So in a tweet the former Northern League Senator Simone Pillon commented on the wedding of Michelle Murgiain which he reported on the article in Il Giornale that controversially titled the day’s event.
In just under two hours, the polemical comments under his tweet counted almost 300. From “Be ashamed” by Luca Bottura to “Alex the podiatrist” who writes: “She married in dead articuli so that her husband would have rights, which is the only system in Mesozoic Italy.” And ps. There is no turning back from 4th degree cancer. Dying is the only way to heal.” From the Time Enough account, particularly at the bottom of Pillon’s Twitter, comes an admonition: “Get well soon qualifies you as the vile creature that you are,” just like your ex did writes: “While I was reading the post, I…” thought: It doesn’t get any deeper. Then I read Get Well Soon and had to change my mind. She speaks for herself.
The writer, who is suffering from stage four cancer, announced the wedding on social media and explained the reason for the marriage: “A few days ago Lorenzo and I got married civilly. We did it ‘in articulo mortis’ because every day there is something different.” I keep going to the hospital due to physical complications and now we don’t take anything for granted anymore,” the author wrote on Instagram under a video she shared and portraying the new husband Lorenzo Terenzi signing the joint papers, in the background the bitter notes of “Nobody’s Wife” by Anouk.
