La ciudad de los vivos

In March 2016, in an apartment on the outskirts of Rome, two young men from a good family spent several days partying, getting high on cocaine, pills and alcohol. They decided to invite someone and after calling several friends who couldn't or didn't answer, they found Luca Varani, a boy they barely knew. They offered him drugs and money in exchange for sex. They had fun until they began to torture him and ended up killing him with knives and hammer blows. He was 23 years old, he was the son of a humble family on the outskirts, a good kid who made a living as best he could. Nobody understood why they did it, there were no answers for so much horror. From prison, one of the murderers said that "they wanted to know how he felt when he killed someone". They were 28 and 29 years old: Manuel Foffo, from a family of merchants, and Marco Prato, a well-known public relations man from Rome's gay night, son of a university professor.
