The tragedy occurred in Bosco di Corniglio, on Mount Tavola, at the Costa degli Spini location during a scout camp. A 59-year-old father attempted to save a 13-year-old boy who had slipped into a ravine.

According to various sources, the man fell several meters. His two children, who were present at the camp, showed signs of distress after hearing the news of the tragedy.

Currently, the thirteen-year-old is hospitalized in serious but stable condition. Investigations are underway to determine whether the man's death was caused by the injuries he sustained or if he may have suffered a health issue.
