--- Quote --- MILAN – An old man of 101 years, Victor Colo, was killed yesterday in a church in Milan, shooting himself with a gun lawfully detained. It happened around 13:15 in Piazza Santa Maria Rising. The man, who lived alone for a long time, he waited for the church to empty to remove the gun and killing himself, at the right aisle. On the spot the police arrived they found a suicide note in which the man asked to inform the child of his death.
Life of an athlete. A row of world records and twenty-five national records in the Master category. Seven medals at the World Championships for veterans of 1997 in South Africa. Vittorio Colo ran until 2006 when he was 95 years old. The last record is two years before: three meters in the long jump in the category over 90. His youth had lasted up to 95 years, in 89 years he ran the 100 meters in 16 seconds and a half. According to the story of her son’s father could not accept the physical decay that he could not live as he had always done.
