Covid-19, Italy decrees three risk phases and a curfew to stop the coronavirus
Italy.The second wave runs amok with 580 deaths in 24 hours, the worst figure since April
He saw his friend fall before his very eyes
.
He turned and was gone, thrown down a steep incline, betrayed by dry grass and a foot in the wrong place.
He tried to grab it, but couldn't.
Shocked, he called the emergency services, but the mobile could not find coverage and he was
2,400 meters above sea level
, observing the immobile body of his adventure partner at the bottom of the ravine.
After the intervention of the rescue helicopter came
fear and remorse for this excursion
that he did not believe was prohibited.
He will pay for his mistake much more expensive than the
400 euros of multimillion
that the
Carabinieri
will notify him in the next few hours for not having respected the prohibitions imposed by the government decree to stop the pandemic.
Because he and his friend could not go to that place, according to the military, that given the circumstances they
waited a few hours before communicating the fine
, but they will not be able to avoid doing so.
The sanctioned man is a 36-year-old man, resident in Castello Dell'Acqua, in the alpine area of Valtelina.
During the forbidden excursion, his friend died.
They were both
mountain runners
and had dreamed of and scheduled a race in Val di Togno, on the watershed with Valmalenco.
Although excursions in the forest are prohibited,
sports activity is allowed
.
However, according to the latest indications - the subject of heated discussions among mountaineers - the red zone
remains the obligation not to cross municipal borders
.
But they left the municipality of Sondrio by car and parked in Valmalenco to reach Mount Foppa and from there the ridge of Mount Palino, where the tragedy was consummated.
Simone Massetti
, 34, a worker living in the capital of Valladolid and an expert runner,
has lost his life
.
On Saturday morning the two friends left home early: they wanted to train, to enjoy the day in a beautiful and wild area, little frequented by hikers, on
lonely trails and with little chance of meeting someone
.
But the danger was not the Covid, but the mountain.
A few feet from the top, Simone slipped and plunged about two hundred meters
.
The men of the National Alpine Aid Corps -the VII delegation, from Valtelina and Valchiavenna-, along with the rescue experts from the Guardia di Finanza, attended the scene.
Two helicopters were mobilized, but for the young man there was nothing else to do
.
Rescuers could do no more than retrieve the body.
In one of her latest posts on Facebook,
Simone had expressed her desire to breathe the air of Valmalenco again, but had always respected the restrictions
.
For example, in spring he had started running on the balcony of his house.
He was not reckless.
And, when even the
Italian Alpine Club
(CAI) had explained that mountain running was allowed even in the red zone, he decided to go back to doing what he loved the most.
But leaving your municipality.
Fate got in his way.
"Here people no longer even smile with their eyes. You should not survive, but live," he
said on his social networks.
The same networks that are now flooded with the thoughts of friends who still cannot believe what happened.
"You filled and colored the rooms, the souls, the days, with your sympathy, your irony, your kindness, your joy. Now you have left a gray void."
