Foreign Minister Luigi Di Mayo called the video “shocking” and described the coronavirus crisis as “out of control” in Italy’s third-largest city.
Health officials said they were investigating the man’s death, but de Mayo said this was just the latest horrific incident he had heard from his hometown of Campania, Reuters reported.

Doctors in Naples on Wednesday said the condition of the city’s hospitals was “on the verge of collapse” “like many others in Italy”.
Officials said Campania reflected most of the health devastation in southern Italy, which emerged mostly easily during the first coronavirus wave, which hit mainly the north.

In Naples, patients are given oxygen and they are waiting for test results or they are admitted to hospitals as they are placed on drips from their car windows.
In the far south, in Sicily, the mayor of Palermo has warned that the area was facing “inevitable massacres” as the infection spread there.
“In the north there is always a well-equipped health system spread across the region. The conditions there may not be the best, but the South is a waste by comparison. Carlo Palermo, head of the doctors’ union, told Reuters.
