Emmanuela Orlandi was born to Ercole Orlandi ( father) and Maria Pezzano (Mother) on 14th January, 1968 in Rome, Italy . Her father worked inside the vatican city, and so they lived there to. They are 5 siblings, Emmanuela has a brother, Pietro Orlandi and 3 sisters, Natalina, Federica and Maria Orlandi. The siblings had access to the vatican gardens and emmanuela was a part of the church choir, as she played flute.
Emmanuela had completed the second year of her secondary school and was going for flute lessons during her vacations.The music school she studied was in Piazza di Sant’Apollinare and traveled there in bus and would walk later for a few hundred meters to reach the music school. She was kidnapped /she mysterious disappeared on 22nd of June 1983, possibly after her flute classes. Before her disappearance a final call was received by her sister Federica from her saying that she was approached by a representative of AVON Products before her classes , and given a job to hand out flyers for two hours at a fashion show but Federica discouraged her taking this offer as she felt it was unreliable because of the huge pay she was offered to do the job. She had also discussed about the offer with two of her friends, orlandi girl was last seen at 7:30 pm in the bus stop with an unidentified female.
Later that night, the orlandi family reached out to the police and reported her missing . They have also enquired about her to her friends and in the areas where she had visited during the day including her music school but it was of no avail. The next day she was officially reported missing. Her family have been looking for her since 40 years and they are still optimistic. The case is categorised to be under international terrorism or Italian organsied crime or sex scandal ( within vatican). The family and many others believe that it has something to do with the holy See / Apostolic See. In this game of some mysterious gangs, an innocent girl and her family went into an eternal suffering. I have seen the netflix documentary and then I searched the case. I cannot describe how sorry I am to the family for the 40 years of pain they have endured. Every parent wants to know what happened to their children, are they alive or dead, when they goes missing. Every parent of missing children want to find peace in truth, how much ever hurtful it can be. And nobody can deny it to the Orlandi family. Was it the Holy See hiding a sex scandal or money laundering scheme gone wrong by a gang of criminals, what is it? Who all are in ivolved ? But most importantly, where is emmanuela orlandi? What happened to her? Did she survive these 40 years? Is there any role that the vatican takes in this disappearance????
I’m concluding by mentioning two things; Pietro Orlandi still feels he is responsible for his sisters missing because if he wouldnt have taken her in car, as she had asked him to this wouldnt have happened to her. And in the netflix documentary her mother Maria, just expresses her emtion asking, will she be able to see her daughter before she dies. I hope the responsible people behind this kidnap sees this, I hope Emmanuela sees this , if she is alive. I hope that emmanuela knows that her family never gave up on her, even after forty years !!!
