Meanwhile, still in Caserta, Gina Ricciardello, the 30-year-old from Falciano del Massico who had doused herself with flammable liquid and set herself on fire, died a week after being hospitalized. She had been rushed from the runway of the 9th Wing "F. Baracca" of the Air Force in Grazzanise.
The operation was carried out at the request of the Operations Center of the “118” service. The Grazzanise military airport immediately took action, allowing rapid access to the Caserta air base for the ambulance coming from the Pineta Grande hospital in Castel Volturno, and promptly authorized the landing of the 169 A-118 helicopter. After a week of hope, however, the tragic news: Gina's heart stopped beating, throwing her loved ones into despair.
