“Nicola called mom, so we found the baby”, the story from Mugello

“I was going up a dirt road and I heard a moan coming from an escarpment. I was alone because I had felt bad just before, and I had stopped the car to recover. So I started to say ‘Nicola, Nicola’, before low voice, then screaming, until I clearly heard ‘Mom!’. It was Nicola. ” Thus begins the story at the Adnkronos by Giuseppe Di Tommaso, the journalist of ‘La Vita in Diretta’ who found little Nicola Tanturli at 9.22 this morning, who had fallen into an escarpment about 2.5-3 km from his house in the municipality of Palazzolo sul Senio, in the province of Florence. Read also “I went down the slope which was very steep, I heard the noise of a car in the distance. It was the Carabinieri, I warned them that I had heard a moan and I was sure it was Nicola. At first they were skeptical, they I thought it might be an animal, a roe deer. But I insisted because I was certain, and I asked them to come down and see, so we found Nicola. The Rai1 journalist tells moments of indescribable emotion: “As soon as he saw us he started to cry, first a carabiniere took him in his arms. He only had a t-shirt and was full of scratches but he was fine. An immense emotion because he really was. I did not imagine, when you tell the stories of children after so many hours, in such thick woods, after a whole night there is always the idea that it will not be a story with a positive ending. A true miracle “. During the ascent, Di Tommaso helped the Carabinieri to bring little Nicola back to safety: “The escarpment was very steep, so I helped the carabiniere to go up with the child, we picked him up in stages”. “It’s really surreal – the correspondent remembers – If I hadn’t felt bad, if I hadn’t gotten out of the car, we wouldn’t have found him. It’s the first time this has happened to me”. Now the baby is safe, “they took him in an ambulance to check him and he is with his parents. He was fine, he was moving, the first impression is that he is fine. It’s crazy, if I think about his voice I can’t seem to don’t move me, “says Di Tommaso with a voice cracked with emotion.
