About two hundred people marched in Orta di Atella against deaths at work in memory of Salvatore Calignano, the worker who died after a fall from a warehouse in Caivano. The procession started in piazza Municipio and ended in via Giovanni Paolo II, where Calignano lived with his family.
At the front of the march were his wife Carmela and their daughters Giusy and Valeria. His wife's appeal, reported in the headline of the local account, was direct: "Voglio solo la verità" — "I just want the truth."
The march was a community act of remembrance, but it also reflected the unresolved questions around Calignano's death. The circumstances of the fall from the warehouse building remain not fully clear.
What investigators have reported so far
An autopsy has been described as consistent with a fall from height. According to the family's lawyer, the injuries were such that the victim could not have moved on his own after the fall.
The employer was placed under house arrest on charges connected to the worker's death and to the failure to adopt workplace safety precautions.
A disputed point: was the worker moved?
One central detail remains contested between published reconstructions.
La Repubblica reported that the autopsy findings were consistent with a fall from height and that the body had allegedly been dragged for less than two hundred meters.
La Stampa reported a different investigative reconstruction, according to which Calignano was assisted at the same spot where he fell.
The validated reporting does not resolve this conflict. Readers should treat the question of whether the victim was moved after the fall as disputed between sources.
What is still under investigation
The precise sequence of the accident, individual responsibilities, and the regularity of the employment relationship remain under investigation.
No information beyond Il Mattino's account was available in the acquired sources about the further organizational or timing details of the march. What is confirmed is its route, its size of about two hundred participants, and its purpose: to remember Calignano and to protest against workplace deaths.
