It was January 31st 1983. That morning, in the Termini Station in Rome, a homeless woman, visibly suffering, didn't receive any aid for 4 long hours because she was too dirty. She died before arriving at a hospital. Modesta Valenti was 71 years old. A difficult life had brought her from Friuli to Rome. From then on, every year the Community of Sant'Egidio has remembered Modesta, and with her all those who live and too often die in the street. |
