Yesterday evening, the search for a 5-year-old child ended in the best possible way, who left a cabin located under the Battisti Refuge in Recoaro Terme (Vicenza) in the afternoon and was found asleep by an Alpine Rescue team.

The little boy, from Altavilla Vicentina, was with his parents and their friends and was playing with other children, when he suddenly left without returning. After looking for him in vain, the parents turned to the Carabinieri, who activated the Alpine Rescue, at around 6.45 pm.

Twelve rescuers , after collecting all the information, hypothesized that the child may have moved downhill . A team started the jeep patrol from below, in the locality of Ta Fosche, checking the buildings and asking the people present. They thus learned that a child had been seen running past the area an hour and a half earlier; they then concentrated their search in the area and around 8 pm they found him sleeping on the doormat of a hut .

The baby was woken up, reassured and refreshed, then he was returned to his parents.

The Civil Protection was also moving on the spot and the Alpine Rescue of Schio (Vicenza) was arriving in support, then returned.
