Alessio has been a pillar of Wikimedia Italia: his pragmatism, his hardworking disposition, his sense of humor were, and are, a part of our organization. A part of how it was born and how it is growing. A part of what we are. Wikimedia Italia is close to the family and the friends of Alessio in this grievous moment. We will terribly miss him. Many of you have know Alessio in Wikimanias and conferences. If you wish, you can leave a last goodbye here on his userpage: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_utente:Cotton#Ciao.
