Words of sympathy

Diego Bastianutti wrote a sympathy message

“My deepest condolences to the family of Franco de Santis. I first met Franco in Hamilton on the occasion of the awards for a poetry contest back in the early '90s. He was an unassuming gentle man with a very sensitive soul he expressed in deeply-felt verses. He honored me by asking me to translate in English his last collection of poetry "Una manciata di poesie: Selected Poems". His friendship across time and space never ceased and will be sorely missed. Diego”
