Oh, what a devastating piece of news! I’m one of those who developed a great sense of admiration and liking to the late Paolo, and bonded further with him at the Reinvention Exchange in Rome in July 2006, sharing the same table, the same team.
Please pass to his family our warmest condolences, sympathy and solidarity, as well as to all his colleagues at Saatchi & Saatchi Italy and beyond. We’ll surely and dearly miss him. God bless his soul with His eternal grace and console his family in their untimely loss of Paolo.
Sincerely,
George
In both my company and personal capacities
