Natalia Dimitrova Belova, a 56-year-old Bulgarian woman, died after saving two lives in southern Italy.

The tragedy took place on the morning of March 8 in Batipallia, near the city of Salerno. Major Vitantonio Sisto, commander of the carabinieri section in Batipallia, told 24 Chassa that the Bulgarian managed to get two Italian husbands out of their burning apartment, but then returned suffocated.

Natalia recently cared for an elderly Italian family who lived in the city of 50,000 in the Campania region. The 87 and 85-year-old couple used a stove to warm themselves at night. Most likely, a spark came from the faulty stove and set a nearby blanket on fire.

The flames woke up the sleeping Bulgarian woman, who immediately rushed to help. He managed to get the couple out of their room and down to the ground floor of the house. Then he asked for help. However, Natalia decided to return to the apartment, probably to collect valuables. However, the smoke suffocated her.

According to Major Sisto, the police found asthma medication in the apartment, which made them think that she suffered from such problems and therefore immediately suffocated.

The couple was taken to a local hospital, but was later discharged because they had no health complications from the fire.

The Batipalya carabinieri have notified the Bulgarian consulate in Italy of the dead woman and await comments from her relatives. In cases where the body is not requested from the relatives of the deceased, a municipal funeral is held.

The late Natalia Dimitrova Belova is from the Roma neighborhood of Borovan village in Vratsa. He went to work in Italy 15 years ago and has not come to Bulgaria for 10 years, said his niece Verginia Mitkova.

Natalia has worked over the years in different parts of Italy and only a year ago she settled in Batipalla. She lived in the city for rent with her daughter Alina, her two grandchildren and a friend from Bulgaria.

The 57-year-old kept in touch with relatives in Borovan and planned to return to her hometown later this year. Natalia’s relatives have not yet understood where she will be buried, in Italy or Bulgaria.

According to the Italian Institute of Statistics in Batipallya, 60 Bulgarians are officially registered. Otherwise, more than 1,700 Bulgarians live in the Salerno province and more than 7,700 in the Campania region.
