Illness Yesterday afternoon, shortly after 2 pm, she was in the classroom of second B, where she had just finished one of the usual afternoon return lessons.
Suddenly, after greeting the Italian teacher Tommaso De Stefani who was supposed to hold the next two hours, the teacher collapsed to the ground, falling on her back, a short distance from the desk and the front row benches. Immediate intervention of the other teacher who, with great courage and cold blood, without panic and strengthened by what he learned in the life-saving course that the IC Ederle had activated last year for all his staff, began to practice heart massage. While De Stefani continued all the maneuvers for over a quarter of an hour in an attempt to snatch her colleague from death, a 118 ambulance arrived at the Ederle first and immediately after the Verona Emergency helicopter rescue, landed in the football field in little distance from the institute. Unfortunately, however, after another half hour of resuscitation maneuvers implemented by the medical and paramedical staff, the young teacher did not make it.
On the spot, informed by the head teacher Cristina Ferrazza, the teacher's husband also arrived. "An admirable person who reacted with great composure to this immense and sudden pain that not even he would have expected to experience", emphasizes the headmaster. “Also because, as she assured us, Giovanna did not suffer from diseases.”

A nurse non-commissioned officer and a graduate of the 151st regiment of the "Sassari" Brigade and a carabiniere intervened to help him, free from duty. The Army soldiers immediately noticed the desperate conditions of that dying man and immediately carried out the first aid maneuvers, alternating in practicing an uninterrupted heart massage until the ambulance arrived. All useless, unfortunately. The 118 doctors tried to revive him, but in the end they were forced to spread a white sheet over his lifeless body. Fulminant heart attack is the first diagnosis. A sudden illness that crushed a forty-five year old who had undergone company visits last March: not even a value out of place. "Sergio used to cycle around the port", Onorato says, "he was always on the move. He managed the mooring system and accounting: he was a very precise one. What happened has no explanation".
