One year after her death, the town of Apice remembers Giulia De Tata, the 14-year-old who died on November 10, 2025, at the Santobono-Pausilipon hospital in Naples after a long illness.
Giulia, a student at the Liceo Classico "Pietro Giannone" in Benevento, continued studying even during her time in hospice. Those who knew her remember her dedication to school, her faith, and her love of football, especially Juventus. The local report also recalls her meeting with Dusan Vlahovic and the Juventus squad.
A memorial Mass will be held on November 10, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the Parish Church of Apice.
Her family has organized a themed show titled "Il Sorriso di Giulia," scheduled for December 12 in Apice. Donations collected during the evening will fund a scholarship dedicated to Giulia.
The family also plans to establish an association named for Giulia to promote solidarity and support initiatives.
