He died two days later, on Oct. 1, three weeks after his seventh birthday. His parents donated his organs, an act that saved seven lives and was met with a huge outpouring of affection in Italy. Today Maggie, 35, and Reg, 67, who publishes a mutual-fund newsletter, travel the country on behalf of donor awareness. Two men are on trial for Nicholas' murder, but the family...
