02 February 2020 The body of the 24-year-old boy, Mattia Fiaschini, an expert trekker who has been missing since Wednesday in the Blue Mountains, Australia, a popular destination for climbers near Sydney, after days of research has been found. The police said so. The body was located near Baltzer Lookout. The young man had disappeared near Blackheath.

The local police had been carrying out the search for two days, while the young man's father had left for Sydney to follow closely the evolution of the situation. Fiaschini was originally from Cesenatico, where his family lives. For about a year he had lived in Sydney where he worked as a waiter and barman, with a great passion for hiking and nature. Fiaschini was in fact considered an expert trekker, with challenging and important international climbs behind him.

A few days ago he had decided to return to the Blue Mountains, a mountain range to the west of Sydney, a World Heritage Site, a destination for millions of tourists every year, among the essential stops even for Italians who visit the most famous city in Australia.

Mattia had left alone: ​​he wanted to see with his own eyes the damage left by the devastating fires that in recent weeks have plagued the territory. But after the first text messages to his father, the young man has not given any news about himself since Wednesday. When he didn't show up for work on Thursday, the alarm went off and the searches were triggered.

The police alert from New South Wales, the Australian state where Sydney and the Blue Mountains are located, was immediate. Today the find.
