Fifty-year-old Paola Piras from Tortoli, Sardinia, after four weeks of pharmacological coma, began to show signs of improvement.
She was taken to hospital after being attacked by her ex-partner, a 30-year-old Pakistani man, who tried to kill her.
He stabbed her eighteen times, with unprecedented violence, in all her vital organs, and the fact that the woman managed to survive, according to the doctors, “is almost a miracle”.
The story of Paola Piraeus has caused excitement throughout Italy.
Because at the moment when her ex-partner decided to attack her (he did not accept the end of their relationship) the woman’s son, nineteen years old, protected her with his body.
He was born from her first marriage, and had a particular weakness in his mother.
Today, the fifty-year-old, as soon as she woke up, asked to talk to Mirkos, with her son. At the moment, the psychologists and the doctors of the hospital have not told her the hard truth.
That Mirko, just nineteen years old, was murdered by the perpetrator.
Doctors fear that if, at this stage, the woman learns the news of the tragic loss of her son, her health could deteriorate dangerously.
For now, they are waiting for it to stabilize, and then they will try to find the right words to describe another story of violence against women and their families.
