Lots of fear but luckily the two children are safe. They had slipped into the river, Rio Massari, a tributary of the Tirso which has swollen in these days of heavy rains.
Some citizens didn't think twice and dived in to recover them, also thanks to some ropes: one of the children had managed to grab onto a branch, while the other was dragged by the current.
They were cold but fortunately in good condition, they were visited by the 118 operators.
