The former Sicilian bishop has been alleged to have “redirected 400,000 euros from the Catholic Church’s otto per mille funds into a Diocese bank account,” which he accessed without the need to provide financial accountability.

 ROME -Matilde Lorenzi has died at the age of only 20 on Tuesday whilst skiing at the Alpin Arena Schnals Senales ski resort.

 Lorenzi’s crash happened on the Gravand G1 piste when her skis separated apart and she lost control, falling onto the icy ground face first. At this point one of her skis came off and Lorenzi continued to slide down the mountain. 

 The coaches that were present intervened quickly doing all that they could to help her. Lorenzi was immediately transported to the hospital in Bolzano by helicopter, where tragically she died on Tuesday night.
