First day on the job without a moment of rest, fully demonstrating all her qualities, for a 19-year-old lifeguard from Pontinia, in the province of Latina. On her first day as a lifeguard on the Bufalara beach in Sabaudia, the girl saved five people from drowning. The lifeguard first came to the rescue of a kite-surfer who had approached the shore and required her intervention; while she was intent on contacting the harbormaster's office, however, another gentleman who was bathing near the rocks began to have difficulty re-entering the shoreline because of the strong current and a hole at least three meters deep: in his same situation, shortly afterward, were his wife and another young man, who had jumped into the water to try to help him and found themselves in turn at the mercy of the waves. Armed only with a baywatch life jacket and unable to use her skate because of the rough seas, the lifeguard brought the three to safety, before performing the last intervention of her day, the fifth, which was to bring back to the shoreline a boy who was bathing with his twin brother and another woman, who had also fallen prey to the strong currents.
