Biography
[edit | edit source]Chiavarelli was born in 1915 in Montemarciano.[1][2] Her father was a physician.[3] During World War II Chiavarelli worked in the Italian Red Cross.[2]
Chiavarelli was part of an active youth organization, Italian Catholic Federation of University Students, during her university studies.[4] She married Aldo Moro in Montemarciano on 5 April 1945.[4][5] They had four children, three daughters and a son: Maria Fida, Agnese, Anna and Giovanni.[4][6] The family spent summer holidays at their home in Terracina from 1960.[7]
Her husband, Aldo Moro, was kidnapped by a terrorist group, Red Brigades, in Rome on the morning of 16 March 1978, and his corpse was found there on 9 May 1978.[8] Following the death of Aldo Moro she did not accept the proposal of organizing a state funeral for him.[6][9] The family organized a private funeral ceremony which was attended only by a small number of family members and friends on 10 May.[10] It was Moro's request which he had written in one of his letters during his captivity.[10] He was buried in Torrita Tiberina, near Rome.[8] Chiavarelli did not attend the state funeral for Aldo Moro held in the Church of San Giovanni in Laterano on 13 May.[11][12]
In her later years Chiavarelli lived in Montemarciano and in Sanctuary of NS dei Lumi di Alberici.[1] She died in Rome on 18 July 2010 at the age of 95.[2][6] She was buried in Torrita Tiberina besides her husband's grave on 19 July.[13][14] Her eldest child, Maria Fida, did not attend the funeral ceremony.[15]
