He was working on a piece of machinery which overturned the 20 year old man and died

The young worker who died in an accident at work in Valtopina was carrying out road maintenance work on behalf of a company appointed by the Municipality. The work began on Monday.

The worker was working with a piece of machinery, perhaps a steamroller, which overturned. The dynamics of the accident are still being reconstructed by the police.

This brings the number of worker deaths in three days across the country to seven. These are four laborers who were reaching the fields in Canicattì, a 48-year-old worker in Baveno and a 51-year-old worker in Brindisi. Now the young man in Umbria.

"We cannot continue to consider all this a tragic normality" has already said Chiara Gribaudo, president of the parliamentary commission of inquiry into working conditions in Italy.

"A tragedy that leaves everyone astonished and saddened, in the face of a life cut short so prematurely" is the comment of the mayor of Valtopina, Gabriele Coccia, on Facebook, who expresses his condolences for the death of the 22-year-old worker. In the post he writes that "the municipal administration expresses its deep sorrow for the tragic death" of the boy "involved in the accident that occurred during road works near Santa Cristina". The mayor extends "his most sincere thoughts and deepest sympathy to his family and loved ones, offering his deepest condolences". "We cling to them in this moment of pain, with the hope that they can find the strength to face such a great loss" he concludes.
