The fire in Grenfell Tower claimed the lives of 72 people, whose names were read out by chairman Sir Martin Moore-Bick as the inquiry into the disaster concluded.

Speaking at the inquiry, Sir Martin said everyone who died in the fire in 2017 had been “failed” by those responsible for keeping them safe.

He added that all of their deaths were avoidable.

These are the stories of the people who died in the disaster, whose ages range from six months to 84.

Mr Gottardi and his girlfriend Gloria Trevisan lived on the top floor of Grenfell Tower.

Mr Gottardi’s father, Giannino, told Italy’s ANSA news agency that he had been on the phone to his son up until the last minute.

He told him that the flat was full of smoke and then communications were interrupted.

Gloria Trevisan, from Padua in Italy, managed to call home during the fire, when she and Mr Gottardi were trapped on the 23rd floor.

Ms Trevisan’s father Loris Trevisan told his local newspaper in 2017: “They wanted to go down but said they could see the flames going up the stairs and the smoke was more and more intense.”

Ms Trevisan completed her master’s degree in architecture at the University of Venice in October 2016 before travelling to London with Mr Gottardi to find work.
