Ms di Marineo (L) was hitch-hiking from Milan to Lebanon with a fellow artist

An Italian woman artist who was hitch-hiking to the Middle East dressed as a bride to promote world peace has been found murdered in Turkey.
The naked body of Giuseppina Pasqualino di Marineo, 33, known as Pippa Bacca, was found in bushes near the city of Gebze on Friday.
She had said she wanted to show that she could put her trust in the kindness of local people.
Turkish police say they have detained a man in connection with the killing.
Reports say the man led the police to the body.

Autopsy

Ms di Marineo was hitch-hiking from Milan to Lebanon with a fellow artist on their "Brides on Tour" project.
They had separated in Istanbul, planning to reunite in Beirut.
Ms di Marineo was last seen on 31 March in Gebze.
An Italian embassy official told the Associated Press news agency police tracked the man when he put a new SIM card into Ms di Marineo's mobile phone.

Local media identified the suspect only by the initials MK and said he had a previous conviction for theft.
Ms di Marineo's sister, who had gone to Turkey to look for her, identified the body. An autopsy is being conducted in Istanbul.
"Her travels were for an artistic performance and to give a message of peace and of trust, but not everyone deserves trust," another sister, Maria, told the Italian news agency, Ansa.

Rest in Peace.

"O brilliant kids, frisk with your dog,
Fondle your shells and sticks, bleached
By time and the elements; but there is a line
You must not cross nor ever trust beyond it
Spry cordage of your bodies to caresses
Too lichen-faithful from too wide a breast.
The bottom of the sea is cruel"

Rest in peace.

I have occasioned to meet people of stated conviction, who do not act from charity, but wth naive savagery of the nobility of their destiny. Usually the deeds and misdeeds of their adventure get a shrug and some epithet of their folly.

So, when you see someone who is truly and honestly of the best intent, the nobelst ehart and the kindest most trusting spirit, I feel rage that such nobility and trust could be so brutally betrayed.

I wish her rest and peace in her next journey, and comfort and solace in her rest. Blessed be she.

Good intentions but a naivete that cost her, her life. A shame.

RIP

How the hell can one be so naive?

[Mortuus Piscis]

I'm all for peace, but that was very dumb on her part.

Well there are extremists of all kinds. It sounds like she was a very optimistic person who wanted to look for the good in people. But looks like she was too optimistic.

Pretty noble but yeah also naïve too.

[Calanen]

RIP.

There are regrettably everywhere, those who will not be reasoned with because they are without reason.

[Hilbert]

Admirable, but I have to agree with Church and 3rdMill, a bit naive as well.

Nevertheless, may she Rest In Peace.

[4X4Driver]

May she Rest In Peace.

Fuking savage. For the crimes like this, I wish my country would bring back the death penalty....Goddamn him and his kind. :fork:

[TechPriest]

She was undoubtedly naive, but her heart was in the right place, and she didn't deserve to die. Rest in Peace.

You make sense, a peace extremist, not common to see those, we often call them dumbs, but you're totally right.

She had said she wanted to show that she could put her trust in the kindness of local people.Scotsman Rory Stewart did it (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0156031566/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top), but this is not a good idea when you're a woman traveling alone.
