All of us with the Cincinnati excavations at Tharros are devastated to learn of the passing of dear Carla. We’ll miss her so very much. Our deepest sympathies to her family and loved ones.

Anima bella, cara, delicata, gioiosa.

La luce del tuo sorriso, del tuo affetto e della tua amicizia è immortale e sovrasta la cinica trappola del destino, che ti ha sottratta ai tuoi cari e a tutti noi.

Carla, ❤, per sempre.
