(ANSA) - VERONA, AUGUST 24 - "The storm ripped up the door and window of my laboratory, I found myself in front of a wall of water and ice. I stood still for half an hour, then the neighboring windows fell and I made it to go out, someone helped me picking me up ". Daniele Iattarelli, the young Veronese dental technician who has become the symbol of the disaster, has had a really bad time, shot in a video while with the water reaching his neck he tries to escape, in a river of mud and hail, near Ponte Pietra. Images, taken by some guys in the car, on a higher street level than Iattarelli was, who have traveled around the world thanks to social.
"I managed to climb over a broken window and approach the door - says the dental technician -, but the water had reached my throat. I was very afraid". "But I managed to reach the stairs that lead to Lungadige, which is at a higher level than the way to my laboratory. Some gentlemen also helped me to change and here I am: a lot of fear, but I'm safe. But I lost everything" (ANSA) .
