Lorenza Messina Denaro: the boss's daughter takes her father's surname
The decision of the girl, 27 years old, after the misunderstandings of the past. The Castelvetrano mafia boss is hospitalized in intensive care at L'Aquila hospital: it is very serious

Matteo Messina Denaro 's daughter , Lorenza Alagna, decided to take his surname as her father's condition worsened. She will therefore be Lorenza Messina Denaro. Lorenza, 27 years old, was born from the Cosa Nostra boss's relationship with Franca Maria Alagna in December 1996, and in recent days she has asked and obtained at the registry office to bear her father's surname. Messina Denaro had already given his "consent" from the L'Aquila prison, where he was imprisoned under the 41 bis regime, following his arrest in Palermo last January.

The notarial deed for the daughter's change of surname has already been signed by the father and authorized by the judicial authority, we read in the Corriere della Sera , in an article signed by Giovanni Bianconi. Now it will have to be sent to the registry office for registration. Lorenza, herself the mother of a two-year-old boy, will completely replace her mother's surname. The decision would have come about after meetings in prison and misunderstandings of the past. The relationship between father and daughter has never been peaceful, at least until now.

In one of the pizzini found in the house of the boss's sister - Rosalia, known as Rosetta -, Messina Denaro complained about the distance between him and his daughter who over the years had never wanted to meet him. In reality, since she was a child, the 27-year-old had lived with the family of the mafia boss, but at 18 she had decided to break off relations and break the "chains" with her father, who had not welcomed the rebellion: "Never, ever I would like to receive," he said. It seems that her cousin Lorenza Guttadauro, the boss's lawyer, acted as mediator between Messina Denaro and the girl.

Messina Denaro is now hospitalized in intensive care at the L'Aquila hospital, where last August 8 he underwent another operation after the colon cancer that struck him three years ago. His terminally ill condition is described as very serious. The former super fugitive could remain in hospital for a long time, under strict surveillance in the ward dedicated to prisoners recently renovated for the occasion, because his conditions are not compatible with detention in prison. Family visits were allowed, but only to some close relatives.
