The news of her death has left us shocked and makes us feel powerless in front of the tragedy that took her life so prematurely,
Giulia couldn’t travel without people falling in love with her smile, laugh and endless Stoke,
The information we received from the Head of Southwest Siberut District was that an accident occurred with an Italian citizen while surfing,
Even with the brave efforts of her partner, local resort staff and doctors, Giulia couldn't be saved."
Giulia was the lifeblood of this company and her infectious enthusiasm for surf, snow and life will be remembered by all that came in contact with her,
She was hit in the chest by a needlefish and died almost immediately,
Unexpectedly, a swordfish jumped towards Manfrini and struck her squarely in the chest,
To mum Chiara, dad Giorgio and all the people who loved her, a touching hug from me and the whole city,
The entire Venarian community is gathering around Giulia Manfrini’s family,
We can only say how much she got out of her short life, and she filled it completely."
We are a huge heartbroken community that loved Giulia with all our hearts. She was the most lighthearted friend we had, always bringing joy and love to our group."
Giulia, from Venaria, only 36 years old, had long had her double dream of surfing, her favourite sport, and of opening a travel agency for sports holidays
