About Annalisa Durante
Lived 1990 – 2004 (aged 14).
Annalisa Durante (; February 19, 1990 – March 27, 2004) was a 14-year-old Italian girl and a victim of the Camorra, the Neapolitan Mafia. She was killed in the Forcella quarter of Naples, during a clash between two rival Camorra clans. While chatting with a friend and cousin outside her home, she was shot in the back of the head by Salvatore Giuliano, who was engaged in a shooting by the Bove-Mazzarella clan. She died after being in a coma for several days.
The local priest accused the state of leaving the neighbourhood to the mercy of the Camorra. Thousands turned out for the emotionally charged funeral. Many mourners were in tears as they packed a parish church to pay tribute to Annalisa.
Salvatore Giuliano, a member of the Giuliano clan who once controlled the Forcella neighbourhood, was arrested on March 30, 2004. In March 2006, he received a 24-year jail sentence for the killing.
