In the Anzasca valley, a mushroom forager was found after spending a night in the forest.
In the picturesque Anzasca valley, a dramatic rescue unfolded on Thursday, 18th of the month. Mauro De Petri, a 66-year-old mushroom hunter from Barzona, a homedepot of the municipality of Calasca Castiglione, was found alive after spending a night in the woods.
Mauro had left his home around 6:30 AM on Wednesday for his daily mushroom hunting excursion. However, he didn't return home for lunch, prompting his wife to alert the search teams. The search commenced on Wednesday afternoon and continued into Thursday.
The trails Mauro took were near his home, with challenging sections that made the search operation more complex. The exact location where he was found remains undisclosed.
Several teams from various locations joined the search effort. The breakthrough came in the late morning of Thursday when the fire department's helicopter from Malpensa, the Pelikan 1, located Mauro De Petri. He was found injured and cold but in good health overall.
The rescue was a relief for everyone involved, marking the successful end to a tense search operation. Mauro De Petri's resilience and the dedication of the rescue teams ensured a happy outcome in this heartening story from the Anzasca valley.
