Demis Quagliato, her bereaved boyfriend, stated: “We were supposed to meet up with some friends to have pizza outdoors, as we did regularly.
“We temporarily parted ways. She was going to pick up the pizzas in the car with our two friends, and I would join them later.
“We never spoke again.”

Quagliato stated: “Valentina wasn’t a reckless girl. She always had her head on her shoulders.
“She knew how to drive cars, and she never did it just for fun.”
He also stated: “She was generous, she couldn’t stop helping others, dedicating herself to them when they needed it.
“If she could, she would have given herself completely to the people she loved.”
