Beatrice's wife, Gabriella, who died exactly two months ago, had fought to shed light on the end of a boy who, on and off the field, seemed the picture of health. Today, Bruno's children, Claudia and Alessandro, accompanied by Gabriella and Bruno's grandchildren, Viola and Flavio Bruno, are carrying on the battle on behalf of the entire family and all those who, like some of Bruno's teammates at Fiorentina, may have suffered serious damage from taking those substances.
