“Shocking news. A few hours ago it started circulating and hit everyone.” There is dismay in Alba for the death of Davide Giri, the thirty-year-old native of the Cuneo town known worldwide for the white truffle killed in New York. “A brilliant and capable boy”, says Mayor Carlo Bo, who clings to his family, known in the city above all for his volunteer work.
Graduated in computer engineering from the Turin Polytechnic with full marks, and specialized at Shanghai’s Tongji University, the thirty-year-old had a master’s degree in electronic engineering, also from the Turin Polytechnic, and one from the University of Illinois in Chicago. He had worked at Fiat Chrysler, Envisens Technologies in Chivasso (Turin) and Nvidia Research in Santa Clara, California.
For some years he had moved to Columbia, where he was also an assistant, for his doctorate at the ‘School of Engineering and Applied Science’.
A brain on the run, as young people who leave Italy to seek fortune abroad using their abilities define themselves, but who had not forgotten its origins. And that he often went out of his way for others. For Davide, in fact, studying was not everything. “He and his family are well known also because they are active in volunteering, first in the parish of Santa Margherita and now in the Mussotto district – recalls the mayor of Alba – A brilliant and capable boy. What happened is incredible. A violent death of which he is It is also difficult to speak. Parents realize this absurd tragedy; the city huddles around the pain of a truly respectable family “.
Football was also one of his passions. He was playing for ‘NY International Fc’, in the role of defender, and when he was stabbed he was returning from a game. “You are a Legend, Davide. We Love You” is the team’s Twitter farewell.
