Lilly helped me a lot, even when my daughter died. We were happy, I don’t know what could have happened ».

With Claudio Sterpin, Liliana Resinovich had an affair 41 years ago, and ten years later he met Sebastiano Visintin, to whom he never spoke of his friendship with his ex. With Sterpin, the woman was supposed to leave for a weekend around 19 December, the anniversary of the day on which the first meeting with the ex took place.

Claudio Sterpin, interviewed by Italian stories, he explained: “We had our own affair 40 years ago, each of us had their own journey as married, I on one side, she on the other, and after I was left a widower and the tomb where my mother is buried and my wife is a hundred meters from her mother’s grave, we met again. In a few months, the desire to leave her husband grew in her because I was free compared to thirty years ago, for her it was a return to the past. She wanted to tell her husband on December 16th because I was a widower on 16th December, she wanted to wait for this ».
