Pesaro. Elderly man tries to throw himself into the Foglia to take his own life: saved by a former policeman and a young South American.

"A heroic gesture of extraordinary courage, which allowed a man's life to be saved." With these words the mayor of Pesaro Andrea Biancani comments on the news of the attempted suicide in via Ponchielli, foiled by retired flying squad policeman Paolo Carnevali. «With promptness and determination, without thinking for a moment, he embraced the elderly man who was already beyond the railing of the bridge and took him to safety. Professionalism, operational capacity, high humanity and sensitivity have made it possible, in a complex situation, to act in the best way towards man. A gesture that deserves the applause of the city and contains an example of virtue. A civic sense that goes beyond the uniform, which Carnevali has worn for years, honoring it."

I thanks from the city and mayor Biancani they also go to the young twenty-year-old South American, who participated in the rescue, initially trying to make the elderly man give up, but whose traces were then lost. «I wait for them here in the Municipality to congratulate them and give them the applause of the city».
