'Bound together on the boat': everything known about the case of a Brazilian woman missing in Venice after collision with water taxi

oglobo15 September 2026 at 07:30

Italian authorities continue searching for Brazilian Gabriella Querino, 25, missing after a boat collision in Venice on Saturday morning. A water taxi driver is under investigation for the incident, which resulted in the death of Gabriella's Italian husband, Sean Michieli, also 25. The water taxi, weighing 4.5 tons, hit at high speed the small vessel where the couple was.

Gabriella is from Ribeirão Preto (SP) and had been living in Italy for two years, moving there after meeting her husband. Michieli worked as a fisherman in Venice and lived on an island in the region. The couple had been married for only three months. Family members told g1 that Gabriella had announced a pregnancy this year but lost the baby weeks later. An aunt said she "had the dream of seeing the world,"

Why this matters

The Brazilian family in the region may have connections to Italy or know people directly affected by this case. The disappearance of a young Brazilian woman abroad, under such tragic circumstances, generates interest in the safety of Brazilians in Europe and the conditions of water traffic in Venice, a Brazilian tourist destination. The case also resonates because of the couple's story — newlyweds, recent pregnancy loss, and the emotional impact on families in both countries.
