a story with a happy ending that happened in the afternoon in Paceco, a town in the province of Trapani. The protagonists are a farmer, who was going to work his countryside, a patrol of carabinieri and the baby, born a few days ago. The soldiers reached the farmer and, together with the 118 operators who intervened in a few minutes, took the child to the hospital in Trapani. Doctors found him in good condition even if, as a precaution, they decided to admit him to the Intensive Care Unit: his umbilical cord had been cut.

The pouch, which also contained the placenta, had not been closed.

The doctors of the hospital of Trapani have decided to call the newborn Francesco Alberto. Francis because he was found on the day of the saint of Assisi, Alberto as the carabiniere who first took him in his arms.
