I have some devastating news. Mario and Gianni of Magia2000 have died in a car accident in Italy.

This is part of the write up from the 2025 convention page, taken from an Italian news service.



NOVARA - Four people died and one was injured in a serious road accident that occurred at 11:08 a.m. on the Turin-Milan highway between Novara Est and Marcallo Mesero, in Lombardy on the border with Piedmont, where the Malpensa Airport exit is located.

According to initial reconstructions, a car driven by Egidio Ceriani, an eighty-one-year-old from Cerano (in the province of Novara) driving a Peugeot 207, who died, veered onto the highway in the wrong direction and collided with a Peugeot 2008 carrying four people: Mario Paglino, 52, Gianni Grossi, 38, and Amodio Giurni, 38, died. Giurni's wife, S.M., 37, was airlifted to Niguarda Hospital in critical condition.

It is believed that the elderly man exited at the Arluno toll booth and, after realizing he had taken the wrong exit, he rejoined the highway and drove about 7 kilometers in the wrong direction. Two cars managed to avoid him before he struck the third car. The woman was intubated and taken by air ambulance to Niguarda Hospital in Milan with chest trauma and fractures to a leg and arm. She is currently being examined by the medical-surgical team. Her condition appears stable but serious.
