Antonio Lucisano, former director of the Buffalo Mozzarella Consortium, has died
July 15, 2023
Chemist, university professor, manager, expert like few others at national level in production and conservation, he was among the most shrewd and intelligent food critics in Italy. Among other things, he had been at the top of the Campana buffalo mozzarella consortium, whose image he had defended and relaunched after the "Land of Fires" case had come to the attention of the general public (his brilliant idea to have the mozzarella analyzed by German certifiers - external and independent - to dispel any doubts about the quality of the product). A few days ago on his Facebook page he wrote a merciless analysis of our health: "A sudden malaise and emergency hospitalization in the emergency room, in a congested reality like Naples and in the middle of summer, when there are also many tourists around. Thus you leave the daily routine and take a bath in the sufferings of humanity, those you can never think about enough. You are immediately amazed by the competence and commitment of doctors and nurses, as when you meet Dr. Claudia Serra of the hospital S. Maria delle Grazie di Pozzuoli But you, who have spent a lifetime trying to improve corporate organisations, can't help but realize the working conditions in our shabby NHS. It would take very little to offer functioning services, consider patients as people and thus put healthcare professionals in a position to be respected as they deserve. But they don't care up there, because their only obsession is the budget and they don't give a damn about the fate of operators and patients. They have some signs like this hanging around, the poor illiterates of the ABC of organizations." To friends worried about him who had contacted him, he had said "let's hope for the best", a phrase which, knowing Antonio, meant that he had understood and calculated probabilities and possibilities. The situation precipitated during the night and Antonio passed away.

Death of Andrea Scabbia, the janitor-minstrel of Ferrara
July 17, 2023
Mourning in the world of street artists in Ferrara for the sudden death of Andrea Scabbia. The janitor-minstrel died suddenly at the age of 62 last July 15, while he was in his house in the Doro district, on the outskirts of the city. Well known and appreciated in the city, he was for decades a collaborator in schools in the Ferrara area, so much so that after years he remembered the names, surnames and class of his students, but above all he played the role of "lucky charm" for years - as they liked to call him the same organizers of the event - of the Ferrara Buskers Festival. In fact, with his singular musical performances on the street, Scabbia had become a sort of permanent presence at the festival as an accredited artist. A likeable and extravagant person, most remember him especially for having invented a particular and bizarre singing technique, defined in a goliardic way as “python”, which consisted in reproducing with the rapid movement of the tongue the verse that the turkey makes, which in the Ferrarese dialect he calls "pitòni”.

Yellow in Vicenza where a janitor was found dead half-naked inside a school. The dramatic event took place in the early afternoon of yesterday, Friday 14 July 2023. The authorities have already identified the victim but for the moment have not released any information on the personal details. No hypothesis of death is excluded a priori and for privacy the police have not disclosed any details. From the local press we learn that the man carried out service as a janitor at the Maffei secondary school in Contrà Santa Caterina, practically in the heart of the city of Vicenza. The man was 66 years old and was found lifeless by his colleagues in a bathroom of the same school building. The mystery is still unsolved, even if the most probable track remains that of the sudden illness. According to the testimonies collected, the man had been absent from his workplace shortly after lunch time. After a long time the janitor had still not returned to his post and the colleagues present in the institution were alarmed. There were no students in the school given the summer period, but the school staff was still present for the bureaucratic activities for the year that had just ended. Colleagues therefore feared the worst and alerted the emergency services. In fact, they requested the urgent intervention of the Vicenza Fire Brigade in order to break down the bathroom door closed from the inside. Following them, a team of 118 health workers rushed with an ambulance.

July 14, 2023
Thirty-nine degrees, the temperature perceived last Wednesday in Florence. But probably the heat in that warehouse was even more oppressive, suffocating. Suspected hyperthermia, i.e. the hypothesis of a death due (or contributing cause) to the extreme heat of these days, is the one at the moment most probable to explain the death of Stefano Olmastroni, 61, a worker in a cleaning company, the Labor Service, which works on behalf of Legnaia 1903, an agricultural consortium company in Sollicciano, on the border between Florence and Scandicci, born on the ashes of the glorious Cooperativa di Legnaia hit a few years ago by an irreversible financial crisis and then taken over by a group of companies operating in the green sector.

Tragedy of loneliness: he dies of an illness and they find out after 15 days
July 17, 2023
Yet another tragedy of loneliness has shaken the province of Canavese. In fact, the lifeless body of a 63-year-old, Gianmarco Musso, was discovered in Rivarolo in his home on Corso Torino, an imposing eight-story building opposite the station. The alarm was raised by the neighbors on the evening of Saturday 15 July, worried by the fact that they hadn't seen him for several days. Arrived on the spot after reporting by the inhabitants of the condominium, the Carabinieri of Rivarolo intervened together with the local Red Cross. Unfortunately, nothing could be done to save the unfortunate Musso, and so the intervention of the ASL To4 forensic medicine service was requested, which is currently carrying out further investigations on the body of the Rivarolese. Among the first analyzes carried out, the most probable cause of Musso's death appears to be a sudden fatal illness. The man, born in 1960, was found in an advanced state of decomposition by the authorities and health workers who intervened. The conditions in which the body was found suggest that the death occurred at least fifteen days earlier, and perhaps even twenty. The scorching heat of the last few days has contributed to making the situation worse. Therefore, worried about his prolonged absence and the nauseating smell coming from Musso's home, the neighbors decided to ask for the intervention of the carabinieri of Rivarolo, with the tragic outcome of the discovery. Gianmarco Musso was divorced, childless, with a sister, but lived alone in the apartment on Corso Torino, located in the building opposite the station and above the Aci. For this reason, no one had noticed his disappearance or the absence of news for at least two weeks. To obtain certainty about the cause of Musso's death, the forensic medicine service of the ASL To4 transferred the body to the morgue of the Cuorgnè hospital, where further investigations are underway in order to confirm that it was a natural death. Furthermore, the clearance from the Ivrea prosecutor's office is awaited in order to proceed with the funeral.

Marku Aldi dies after a dip in the Montone river: help from friends is useless
July 14, 2023
Forlì – A 29-year-old young man, Marku Aldi, originally from Albania, who lived in Forlì with his family, died yesterday afternoon in the Montone river two kilometers above Portico, in the Saldellucci area. The boy had gone up from Forlì to Portico, where a friend runs a piadina kiosk. Then, together with two other friends, he went to swim in a place where he often went, a whirlpool about two meters deep, 100 meters from highway 67. The two friends still recount in shock: "Once arrived in the clearing of the river, everyone started to sunbathe or to rest or to read a book". Adds one of the two: "At a certain point Marku dived. I was reading and the other friend maybe sleeping. Then, after a few moments, I no longer heard any movement in the water. I called him, but he didn't come, no answer. So I called the other friend and we were alarmed". The two dived into the water, retrieving their friend and dragging him out of the water. Realizing the gravity of the situation immediately, they tried in vain to revive him. So they immediately raised the alarm on 118, around 4 pm. The Misericordia ambulance quickly left from Rocca San Casciano and arrived on site in a short time, almost simultaneously with the helicopter. Rescue efforts were in vain: the doctor confirmed the death of the young man. The Carabinieri of Portico are investigating the cause of death, who also intervened on the spot until the magistrate granted the go-ahead for transport to the mortuary of the Forlì hospital. The young man, who lived in Forlì with his mother and it seems that he worked with his father in a small construction company, knew that place on the river very well, often frequented together with friends from Portico. The young man was known in the village as a friend of the manager of the piadina kiosk, frequented by both the inhabitants and people passing by.

July 16, 2023
Today (Sunday 16 July), around 10, a hiker, marching towards Monte Cimone, suddenly fell to the ground, without giving any more signs of life. The tragedy occurred in Pra' da Bosco, one kilometer from the Ossuary, along the paved municipal road that leads to the last parking lot, just before a square, about 600 meters from it. The hiker was walking on the edge of the road when he fell violently to the ground. The scene was witnessed by a camper driver who, seeing the man on the ground, immediately stopped to help him. But despite the various attempts made, the hiker, from the apparent age of 50-60, never gave any sign of life. In the meantime, at 10.15 two volunteers from the civil protection of Tonezza arrived on site, they too found that there seemed to be no hope of life for the walker.

The woman, worried about her husband's non-return, would then have raised the alarm to the police, who subsequently set to work to track down the man.

Killed in a “vaxxident”:
Death of Enrico Gambino on camera, the prosecutor orders the autopsy
July 12, 2023
The images taken by the cameras leave little doubt on the dynamics of the accident: in the footage, acquired by the prosecutor, the man driving the scooter can be clearly seen suddenly losing control of the vehicle - due to what is assumed to be an illness - before crashing against the guardrail of the flyover towards the west. Thus died yesterday afternoon, Tuesday 11 July, Enrico Gambino, 42, an employee of an IT company who was probably returning home from work on his scooter. He lived in Sestri Ponente with his wife and two small children. As usual, an investigation was opened into the incident and an autopsy entrusted to the coroner Francesco Ventura was ordered. The examination could confirm if indeed, as it would appear from the footage, the man was taken ill. Immediately after the accident, the man had undergone an alcohol test, resulting in a positive blood alcohol content of 0.56. The accident happened at about 3.30 pm. Several witnesses confirmed to the investigators how the motorcycle went straight into the guardrail, without any attempt to correct the trajectory. Also for this reason, the rescuers immediately assumed that the driver may have passed out before falling. At the hospital, doctors tried to revive the man for a long time. But in the end they had to give up.

Some of these reports are suggesting that the heat is a cause of death. In Italy the media is fear mongering about the "extreme" heat. It's nothing unusual than any other year, but now 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 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?
