THE FIRE - It was the photovoltaic system that caught fire. The immediate intervention of the firefighters made it possible to limit the flames, preventing them from spreading on the two levels of the house. However, the machinery to which the sample was attached and which help him live was at risk. The family opted for a transfer to a suitable facility, to the rehabilitation department on the first floor of the San Bortolo hospital, where Alex had been hospitalized since April 2021.
