Thirteen-year-old Yara Gambirasio was born in Brembate di Sopra, Italy. Yara’s sister Keba was two years older than her. She also had two little brothers, Natan and Giole. Natan and Giole were both under the age of ten at the time of their sister’s murder. Her mother worked as a teacher in a nearby village, and her father was a postman.
The young girl dreamed of becoming a gymnast when she grew up. She took rhymic gymnastics classes, which she usually walked to by herself. Yara’s parents were not concerned that Yara walked alone. Their neighborhood of Brembate di Sopra was a safe neighborhood where nothing bad ever happened. By 9:00 PM, everything in the town is shut down, even the bars.
On Friday, November 10, 2010, Yara Gambirasio left the sports center around 6:00 PM after her gymnastics class. The sports center was only seven hundred meters from Yara’s home, but the poor girl would never make it home again.
