The 9-year-old boy from Mestre who disappeared yesterday was found in an area of woods and pastures above Tambre (Belluno), between Pian delle Laste and Col Indes.
It was spotted by the fire brigade helicopter that had just taken off.
He is fine and is already in the arms of his parents.
The searches continued throughout the night, when the temperature in the area dropped to 10 degrees.
According to what has been learned, the little one would have gone away while his father was intent on consulting some signs indicating the paths in the Pian delle Laste area and the immediate search in the stretch that connects the point to a nearby farmhouse towards the which one hoped the child had headed.
The research involved over one hundred men, including professionals and volunteers, as well as molecular dog units.
The boy's father participated in the patrols all night, later joined by his mother with her new partner.
Father and son had been on vacation for a few days in Sant'Anna.
