20 years old and despair in her heart. With the will to end it all hanging from a ledge. Ten centimeters of marble suspended over a precipice of about 30 meters along via nuova san rocco.
We are in the neighborhood Miano and a girl cries, sitting on the most delicate point of her life. She wants to end it all.
It's night and among some distracted and tired passersby there is someone who understands her intentions. He calls 112 and approaches. The 20-year-old does not want to talk and is still crying.
Meanwhile the crowd grows, curiosity often ignites morbid stimuli.
The carabinieri also arrive, those of the Capodimonte station. They jostle in that shed of spectators and approach the girl. She didn't want all this, she shouts to stay away. A few centimeters separate her from the darkness and the soldiers know it.
One of them, a marshal, also a woman, tries to talk to her. With sweet words he reassures her and slowly, with his colleague, approaches her from behind. He doesn't give her time to answer that he grabs her, holds her tightly and drags her backwards.
Safe. The 20-year-old is safe, not from her thoughts. For that, it will only take time and, why not, the proximity of the Carabinieri.
