“We were four minutes from the hotel where we would have stayed before spending the final days of our vacation on the shores of Lake Maggiore – Meschini recalls – when I suddenly saw a van coming sharply into our lane. It all happened in an instant. The bike in our group that was ahead was that of Graziano Dignani (husband of Patrizia Giampieretti, the only accident victim, ed.), who tried to avoid the van with a desperate maneuver on the right side. He should have succeeded, but in doing so he bumped into a wall at the side of the road. Graziano was down with multiple injuries but unfortunately his wife Patrizia didn’t make it. The second motorcycle, Mario Rocci’s Honda, was completely taken over. Mario, although injured in several places, was always conscious, while the condition of his wife Sabrina (Falsi, editor’s note) immediately seemed more serious. I was further away on my BMW though because I’m a safe distance away due to some scares in the past. I braked hard and avoided the impact, eventually slipping a few feet but feeling a lump in my leg. An object probably flew on impact and hit me. When I tried to get up, I couldn’t get up ».
After an emotional hesitation, Meschini adds: «I immediately told the first responders that there were more serious injuries and that there were six motorcyclists, but they only saw five. A little later, the tragic discovery of poor Patrizia’s body that had been thrown away. Then they took us to the hospital. In Briançon they were exceptional. They set up a bed for my wife next to me. They found a place to stay for our relatives who came from Fossano (Piedmont) to bring us back to Italy. They put us in touch with the embassy. When my daughter arrived from Italy, the doctors provided her with medicine for the return journey. We will spend a few days with relatives in Fossano – he confides -. Time to recover, then we all go home».
Dismay and bitterness in Meschini’s words: «What doesn’t happen in fifteen years will happen in a moment – he says -. We have ridden the roads of Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, Germany and Holland year after year with no problems and have always been cautiously involved in this dramatic accident. I can’t get over what that van might have brought us. It won’t be easy to get back to normal.” Meanwhile, the body of Patrizia Giampieretti is scheduled to return to Italy on Sunday. The funeral probably on Tuesday morning.
