Domenico Nese rode to the Antisala dei Baroni in Castel Nuovo on the same bike he rode in May of this year to complete the unique 1.000 km Giro d'Italia, "one for every workplace death in Italy in 2018." The cyclist, who is the deputy mayor of Ogliastro Cilento, received the "Pink Safety Jersey" from Naples Mayor Luigi de Magistris for his commitment. His testimony was joined by that of Matteo Mondini, president and captain of the Italian national safety players team, which, through sport, unites a large team of industry professionals in its work of raising awareness. "For this meeting, we wanted to involve unique figures," explained Vincenzo Fuccillo, president of Assoprevenzione, "welcoming, in an institutional context like that of the Maschio Angioino, unusual voices and testimonies through which we can develop further approaches to the problem." Also present were Domenico Palmieri, leader of the Napoli Popolare council group, who emphasized the importance of a broader and more participatory culture of "prevention" in Italy. Luigi d'Oriano of Ebilav, one of the organizers of the HSE symposium, which will take stock of the situation in October by bringing together institutions, universities, businesses, and members of civil society engaged in this area. Those in attendance also included Alessandro Fucito, president of the Naples City Council; Luigi Converso, president of Untesil; Olga Borriello, Go Engineering; Maria Caterina De Vuono, Scait srl; Maria Giovanna Martorelli, Skills Consulting srl; and Valeria Vittorini, occupational psychologist. "Every day in Italy," Luigi de Magistris emphasized in his speech, "there are three workplace deaths. "Accidentally caused deaths" are defined using a term I find unacceptable." "Those who die on the job are rarely considered fatalities," he continued. "Most often, they are manslaughters, sometimes unintentional, and for these, there is responsibility that must be ascertained and punished. From this perspective, the level and culture of safety must be significantly raised, otherwise everything becomes precarious." "We must work together to respect and enforce the fundamental principle of our Constitution, which in Article 1 establishes that Italy is a democratic republic founded on work," the mayor concluded.
