It was the spring of 1942 when an Italian air force pilot decided, in the most daring way, to offer his beloved a bouquet of roses to show her his love! The young Italian pilot served at the aeronautical base of Lepida or Rossetti base.
It was a peaceful morning of a spring day, when that romantic young man wanted to fly his fighter seaplane over her house and drop from the cockpit a bouquet of red roses into his beloved’s yard. Defying the low altitude and almost touching the roof of the house with the wings of the plane, he made the last and fatal maneuver of his life.
