ItalyA 13-year-old student attacked his geography teacher, Isabella Marsilio, at her school in Rome with a knife, leaving her injured. In an exclusive interview, Marsilio described the attack, noting the boy entered the classroom wearing a helmet and camera, which she found unusual. She recounted being stabbed three times in the armpit and describing the boy’s cold, emotionless gaze. Despite the trauma, Marsilio expressed no fear of returning to class and showed willingness to meet the boy to understand his anger. She stated she feels compassion for him and has already forgiven him. The article also mentions another student who intervened to save her, whose family is from the Congo, and notes that the teacher’s social media profile includes fascist memes and anti-immigrant slogans.
