All three were close together in the corridor of the house. That house that Antonio Tollardo, 34, wanted to leave. “He wanted to save money and buy an apartment” to take his parents away, especially his mother, who had health problems, recalls Nunzia Colonna, known as Tina, the concierge at number 6, next to Fabrizio Ghiani’s workshop in via Fra Galgario 8 , Milan, which on Friday evening, June 14, turned into a bomb of smoke and flames, which killed three people and caused four injuries.
Fire in Milan, the car on the bridge leaking petrol, the tires overwhelmed by flames and fumes. What we know
The son tried to save his parents
A race against time to save themselves from the flames. A desperate escape towards the door, writes the Corriere della Sera. It’s 7pm on Friday 14 June. Firefighters spring into action to save the family trapped in the third-floor apartment via Fra Galgario, Milan. They break down the door, but there’s nothing they can do. Silvano Tollardo66 years old, Carolina De Luca63, and Antonio, 34, an entire family, die from monoxide inhalation: their bodies lie on the floor.
What a son Antonio Tollardo was
Caring son and huge AC Milan fan. «After work she went straight back to him», as on Friday, Tina tells the Milanese newspaper. She was one of the last people to see him: «he had returned half an hour before the fire.
He stopped for hours to talk about his mother. He was very worried about his health problems. We hugged each other.”
