Minister of Foreign Affairs Luigi Di Maio went to the airport in Rome to receive the caskets holding the remains of Attanasio and Carabinieri Officer Vittorio Iacocacci, killed in the same attack (a third person, the Congolese driver of the car Attanasio and Iacocacci were in, also died in the attack). Statements of sympathy came from Italian leaders and from their counterparts abroad. Flags were hung at half-mast, and it was the top news story in Italy for two days. Di Maio called for investigations into the circumstances surrounding the attack.
