There were moments of great fear and agitation this afternoon in the historic center of Prato, when a man – a 42-year-old Moroccan – climbed onto the large crane with a height of 35 meters which is located in Piazza San Francesco and which it is used for work on the roof of the church. It all happened around 5pm and, once the wicked act was noticed, the military, carabinieri, municipal police, a Golden Cross ambulance sent by 118 and firefighters immediately arrived on site.
In the end, after two hours of apprehension and various attempts to convince the stranger to come down, fortunately everything went well. In fact, the man fell on his initiative. Among others, mediators and mental health nurses, who had been called to participate in the operations, were also waiting for him. In fact, we are talking about a person already known to have mental disorders. In fact, behind his gesture there would not be any type of protest, as had been initially imagined. Piazza San Francesco remained closed on all sides until around 7pm.
