A note about the “extreme heat” as a possible cause of death reported throughout today’s compilation (a comment from a reader in Italy):
Some of these reports are suggesting that the heat is a cause of death. In Italy the media is fearmongering about the "extreme" heat. It's really nothing unusual this year, yet many are afraid to go outside during the day. Now, weather forecasts and apps are predicting higher temperatures a week or more in advance and are not adjusting the temps when those predictions (lies) are obviously wrong. BBC tweets a temperature for Sicily which is 10°C HIGHER [20 degrees F] than the BBC app for Palermo, Sicily. What's going on? Both temperatures are from BBC Weather, they are 10°C off. One is for locals, one for those abroad. What can we conclude?
The Genoese pianist and composer Massimiliano Damerini died suddenly at the age of 72
July 21, 2023
The sudden disappearance of Damerini has aroused great emotion in the musical environment. Trained at Martha Del Vecchio's piano school and Sergio Lauricella's school of composition, Damerini has been a protagonist of concertism for the last fifty years. His training allowed him to deal with the contemporary repertoire with great rigor and ability, so much so that he became the favorite interpreter of a large group of composers of our time, from Berio to Sciarrino, from Kurtag to Nono. However, Damerini has always rejected any label and has faced a wide repertoire in his long career, from Mozart and Beethoven to Romanticism and the early twentieth century. A few weeks ago he had released his latest effort, the eighth and last album dedicated to the complete Beethoven Sonatas created with the collaboration of his son Luca as sound engineer.

Unfortunately, when the Suem doctor and nurses arrived at the scene, they could do nothing to save her life. It was probably a heart attack that killed her.

Lerici – 33-year-old chef dies of heart attack while cooking
July 23, 2023
Lerici (La Spezia) – Illness suddenly seized him while he was fumbling at the stove to prepare the dishes ordered by the restaurant's customers. It was 9 pm on Saturday when Inghemar Torriti – chef and partner of the restaurant "La luna nel pozzo" in Lerici – had a pale face and sat down on a chair. At his side was his partner Davide Pascalizi. "Please give me a glass of water with some sugar" were his last words. There was thoughtful assistance, together with the request for an ambulance to intervene and the efforts of soldiers and the 118 doctor in carrying out the resuscitation maneuvers; all in vain. The young chef died in front of his colleague's eyes, dismayed. "During the day he hadn't shown any illnesses. Never, in the past, had he reported any health problems. He was a rock." Davide says reconstructing the tragedy and questioning the reasons for his death. The heat, presumably, played its part, despite the air conditioning. But Jnghemar, a resident of Ruffino, was only 33 years old, at the height of life and strength. The one that, despite the high temperatures of the last few days, had led him to train to participate in a 'skating' tournament on the beach in San Terenzo in September. The tragedy happened on Saturday evening, in the middle of an evening of intense work and satisfactions, those given by customers, including some friends of Jnghemar. A shock for them too to witness a crescendo of moments that are difficult to forget: the agitation in the kitchen, the 118 alarm, the rocket arrival of the soldiers of the Public Assistance of Lerici and then of the 118 self-medication, the efforts of the doctors in cardiac massage and in other resuscitation maneuvers. All in vain, unfortunately.

63-year-old baker, Olindo Zuanon, dies suddenly in his shop
July 18, 2023

The man passed out under the gaze of his wife Michelle, with whom he has been managing this business since 2010, was rescued by the doctor and nurses of Suem 118 who were unable to do much to save the life of the 63-year-old who suffered from minor natural cardiac problems: after a first attempt at resuscitation and emergency transport to the emergency room of the Castelfranco Veneto hospital, the death of the man, a professional much appreciated and loved by customers, was declared. Certainly the great heat of these hours could have tragically influenced the story. Olindo, his wife and his three children lived in the nearby province of Padua, in Fratte di Santa Giustina in Colle, where the family runs another business, the one that had been founded by Olindo's father.
