The pelvic bone fragments, accidentally found under a soil of the apostolic nunciature in the Italian state, belong to a woman. But to find out if the remains of Emanuela Orlandi or Mirella Gregori are actually, it will still have to wait three or four days. Meanwhile, however, there is a yellow stirring of the leaders of the Holy See and the Rome Prosecutor's Office (to be discussed tonight in a special episode of Atlantis at 9:15 pm on La7). Because the combination between the discovery made Monday and the disappearance of girls (Mirella, May 7, 1983, Emanuela, June 22 of the same year) was officially made by neither of the two sources. So who is burning on the fire of two unresolved cases that harbor suspicions of wrong direction, accusations of silence and disruption of state-church relations for 35 years?
Let's go by order, starting with the facts. Inside Villa Giorgina, via Po 27, the headquarters of the Apostolic Nunciature in Italy since 1959, basement renovation work had been under way for a few days. And here it is, a few inches under a shabby soil that the workers were removing, that the first of two discoveries took place. Not a complete skeleton, as we have said, but a few dozen small bone fragments: a part of the cranial box, a pelvis, vertebrae, a femoral head, recognizable bodies. The second discovery, still a dozen fragments, took place a short distance, but still under the same floor.
At this point, although the nunciature enjoys the link of extraterritoriality (but of the third level), the Vatican Gendarmerie has warned the Vatican Police Inspectorate which in turn has brought in the scientist. And the case began to deepen, under the supervision of the Prosecutor General of Rome, which opened an investigation into a murder and invested the mobile brigade. According to a first on-site examination, the remains could be attributable to the death of one or two people in a period ranging from 20 to 40 years. But it is a hypothesis that still lacks scientific certainties. Although it seems that the first tests performed in the laboratory have established at least that the bones of the pelvis found belong to a female person.
During these hours, one seeks to determine the age, the bad, the causes of death and to extract fragments a pure DNA which can be compared to that of the members of the families Orlandi and Gregori. For the moment, the Vatican is limited to confirming in a communiqué the conclusion and the request for collaboration addressed to the Italian authorities. But a strong irritation was filtered for the juxtaposition between the discovery of the bones and the disappearance of the two girls. While Attorney General Giuseppe Pignatone informed this morning Emanuela's brother, Pietro Orlandi, and his lawyer, Laura Sgrò, ongoing technical investigations. "We will ask the Attorney General of Rome and the Holy See how the bones were found and how they were found in connection with the death of Emanuela Orlandi or Mirella Gregori." The Holy See's newsletter provides few details. This would clarify who made the connection, "said lawyer Sgrò yesterday after the meeting with Pignatone.
The case of Emanuela Orlandi, daughter of an employee of the Holy See, disappeared in 1983 at the end of a music course in the Sant Apollinare complex, located a few steps from Piazza Navona, was certainly the most sensational of the two. For the implication, then resulted an error of orientation, the attacker of John Paul II, the Turkish Ali Agca. And then, because of the suspicion that the disappearance of the girl, then aged 15, was used as blackmail by the criminal organization that had invested and lost tens of billions in the IOR, the bank of the Vatican at the time. led by the controversial Monsignor Marcinkus. The blackmail would have been managed by Renatino De Pedis, one of the leaders of the Banda della Magliana, incredibly buried in the Basilica of St. Apollinaire thanks to a special dispensation signed by Cardinal Poletti.
The suspicion that the girl's remains were also hidden in the same grave prompted the investigators to request and obtain their opening and inspection. Even in this case, hundreds of bones have been found, but none are attributable to it. And the yellow, between anonymous telephonists with American accent, overtures to negotiations of the then Cardinal State Secretary, Agostino Casaroli, and requests for withdrawal of the Italian authorities drags on since then. Today, Emanuela Orlandi is 50 years old. And his family, with his brother Pietro in mind, never stopped asking the Vatican for truth, of which he was a citizen. And although the judiciary has filed the case, the bone fragments found on Monday could resonate vividly.
