Teresa Franzese, 47, lived with her family in the southern city of Naples and started to show the symptoms of coronavirus last week. Her health deteriorated rapidly and she died on Saturday before the results of a test for the disease was known. Given the uncertainty, undertakers and even the local hospital refused to pick up the body. I can’t give her the funeral she deserves because the institutions have abandoned me,” her brother Luca Franzese said in a video posted on Facebook. Franzese, a personal fitness trainer, showed her body laid behind him.
