Rescuers waited more than three days before bringing an injured Italian cave-explorer out in the open. She was seriously injured after falling into a cave in Bergamo on Saturday. After a rescue effort lasting several days, an injured explorer was rescued from a northern Italian cave.
Ottavia Piana, 32, fell while exploring the Abisso Bueno Fonteno cavern near Bergamo on Saturday. According to the Mountain and Cave Rescue Service, rescue teams brought out the woman who was tied to stretcher early on Wednesday morning. The helicopter took her to the hospital, and the rescue mission was extremely difficult.
The 50-kilometer-long cave, located on the northern shores between Bergamo (Bergamo) and Brescia (Brescia), is an enormous labyrinth with underground passages and waterfalls. It was discovered only in 2006. The cave is only half explored. Rescuers completed the last section faster than originally planned.
Piana was already trapped in the cavern once. She and her companions were in the cavern on Saturday, exploring the previously unknown part. She lost her balance while descending through a narrow passage and fell into the depths.
According to rescue services, Piana suffered several broken ribs and injuries to her facial area. The operation was complicated by the fact that Piana was transported on a stretcher through the narrow passages.
According to a press release, the rescuers were forced to stop every hour and a quarter to give Piana medical care. Piana was trapped in this cave in July 2023. Then, she was rescued within two days. Rino Bregani is the doctor who was involved in this rescue. He told Ansa:
“She speaks little, but says she won’t go into a cavern again.”
