ItalyA three-year-old child in Stornara, a small town in the province of Foggia, nearly choked on a piece of candy but was saved by a 23-year-old woman who performed the Heimlich maneuver. The woman, Anastasia, is an esthetician and former Italian Army soldier who learned first aid techniques during her military service and high school education. She intervened after hearing cries for help from outside her home and quickly administered the life-saving technique, allowing the child to breathe again. Local mayor Roberto Nigro praised Anastasia’s actions publicly and expressed gratitude on behalf of the community. He highlighted the importance of her training and called for greater emphasis on first aid education in schools. In response, the municipality announced plans to offer free first aid courses to residents starting in September.
