Aside from Costemalle, Turcatti did not know any of the other players of the Old Christians Rugby team nor with Stella Maris, the high school they represented before the accident of 13 October.

During his lectures, Gustavo Zerbino Stajano tells that Turcatti had written a passage from the Bible on a piece of paper in his hand when he died: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13).
