A tragic incident unfolded at the Cr Forma vocational institute in Cremona on November 5, 2024, when a 16-year-old student named Francesco collapsed after a sudden illness.

Despite immediate efforts by teachers and emergency responders, including cardiac massage and a rapid airlift to the Spedali Civili hospital in Brescia, the young student could not be revived.

The unexpected event occurred just after the morning break as students were returning to their classes.

In a moment of profound grief, Francesco's family made the altruistic decision to donate his organs, offering hope to others in need.

This marks the second such tragedy in a Cremona school this year, following a similar incident in September.
