Lorenzi’s boyfriend, Federico Tomasoni, has also been sharing memories of her on Instagram. In one post, he wrote, “You are the most beautiful thing that life could ever give me.

I love you, little star ,” along with a close-up of their hands as he held hers.

Another memory showed Lorenzi by the beach, replying “Ciao” to Tomasoni’s greeting.
Before her passing, Lorenzi’s last Instagram post featured photos of a sunset in Ibiza. Among these images was one of her with Tomasoni, her arms around him, with a caption that read, “chasing sunsets in ibiza [sic].”
We offer our deepest condolences to Lorenzi’s family, boyfriend, friends, colleagues, and loved ones as they cope with this immense loss.
Cheers to Another Year of Life: Hoping for an Overflow of Birthday Wishes Today!

On the day I turned 15 years old, I eagerly anticipated the flood of birthday greetings from friends and family. However, to my dismay, the expected wave of messages never arrived. The feeling of disappointment quickly crept in, leaving me wondering if I was undeserving of love and celebration. Nevertheless, upon introspection, I realized that the absence of external recognition did not define my worth or the significance of my special day. Birthdays are more than just a number of well-wishes; they present an opportunity to appreciate the love and joy that reside within oneself and cherish the relationships and moments that truly matter. Despite the few birthday greetings, I am determined to make this year one filled with self-love, growth, and unforgettable memories.
