There's some good news from Roncofreddo, a town of 3,390 in the province of Forl-Cesena, and its heroes are the firefighters from the Bergamo Provincial Command. In the night between Wednesday and Thursday, they managed to save a newborn of only 15 days who had been isolated with mom and dad, without light and water, on the hills of Cesena, as reported yesterday by the Eco di Bergamo. In an interview with Lombardia Notizie Online, Antonio Dusi, lieutenant colonel and head of the'rescue' command of the orobic command, describes the rescue by revealing that among the one hundred people rescued was a 95-year-old woman. "It was perhaps the most significant moment of the emergency," he said, "because on that day we rescued a large number of people who had been trapped in the upper floors of their homes, which had been flooded, or in hilly regions that were still isolated and battered by the rain. We organized a night flight recovery late in the evening, coordinating the efforts of several agencies (army, civil protection, and medical rescue). We knew there was a baby because, thankfully, our phone contact with the people we needed to contact was not interrupted".
