The hero student who saved the professor of Centocelle is a student from Congo living in a family home in Rome

A 13-year-old student from the Congo, living in a foster home in Rome’s Centocelle neighborhood, intervened during an attack on his teacher, Isabella Marsilio, at the Giovanni Verga middle school. The attacker, also a 13-year-old classmate, used a diving knife to stab the teacher three times but was stopped by the student. The teacher was hospitalized with seven days of recovery time and has since been discharged. According to classmates, the attacker had discussed his plans for the attack over several days, though he was not taken seriously. He reportedly showed signs of deep distress, anger, and superiority complex in previous years and was fascinated by extreme content online, including True Crime Communities (TCC). The school community expressed shock and requested privacy while emphasizing the need to focus on the students involved. The attacker has attended the school for eight years without prior behavioral issues.

A 13-year-old student at the Istituto Giovanni Verga in Rome sprayed an anti-inflammatory agent on a teacher’s face before stabbing her with a knife.

The teacher, Isabella Marsilio, was taken to the hospital in shock but is not in life-threatening condition.
