The boxes of zinc , in which the remains of the soldiers were laid , were transported to the Catholic Church of Santa Maria della Pietà . It is the oldest church in the village Scacciaventi of Cava , where Apicella went to pray every morning until 1980 , when , due to the 1980 Irpinia earthquake , the church was declared unfit for use . She died in 1982 , aged 94
