There are places, days and events that just can’t be together. Tears, pain and tears for sad news cannot be at home almost on the shore of the lake in the last remnant of the summer heat with tourists still in sandals enjoying ice cream and the blue of the sky.
Yet the day he found Andrea Galimberti It was considered imminent, and at the meeting were his loved ones who received outside the common of Maccagno with Pino and Veddasca the expected news, sure, but in the bottom of the heart even those that a father would never want to hear. , that a colleague would like to leave outside the door forever.
For this reason, shortly after the radios in the fire brigade trucks in the middle of the morning began to crack increasingly excited communications, to the red bench in front of the entrance of the Maccagno town hall where the relatives of the small metallurgical businessman of Oltrona di San Mamette were present – As it were, because a stone’s throw from the first municipalities in the Varese area – Luino’s Italian Red Cross operators approached discreetly.
They were there to prevent any of the rescuers from needing medical assistance, but also to psychologically support the victim’s relatives.
Then even the carabinieri, present in force, approached, with degrees turned into whispered words behind masks, hunched shoulders and even words of comfort.
Then the mayor and some administration employees: they shared many days with the rescuers who had installed the research headquarters in the same town hall.
Hope of finding Andrea alive disappeared after the first frenzied attempts of the rescuers who came down last Saturday: too much water in that stream that in a few half hours it was filled and continued digging with the weight of the flow of water on the rocks, adapting to its course during geological ages. There was no need for helicopter and drone overflights, or for the first descents to the holes after the waterfalls.
The body was found in the middle of the approximately 5-kilometer path that the river makes before flowing into the Verbano.. It is preserved in the water under a kind of stone base, a kind of hidden coffin made with cyclopean stones excavated by Molinera: that is why the investigation and discovery were difficult. Around noon, a man in shorts and a shopping bag was walking around observing the scene of agony. Before getting back on the road the comment out loud: “That is an area that is still wild.. Too dangerous to go there. Poor thing. “
It is true. Rescuers have also pointed it out on more than one occasion.. Too many dangers, one misstep, and you hurt yourself, much less when you’re overwhelmed by an unusual flood wave capable of hitting you from side to side of shore, like in a big blender.
And also to bring the body downstream, before presenting it to the relatives gathered for recognition at the Luino hospital, he took the helicopter: it is impossible to bring the remains of poor Andrea Galimberti downstream without the plane. Official recognition after 4pm, after an initial necropsy.
The body was later transferred to the Varese morgue, where an autopsy will be performed.
