Rescue Operation in Bergamo Cave to Free Trapped Speleologist Ottavia Piana

A complex rescue operation is underway to free 32-year-old speleologist Ottavia Piana, who became trapped in the Bueno Fonteno cave near Bergamo after falling eight meters into an unexplored section. Despite suffering fractures to her legs, chest, and face, Piana remains alert and stable under medical supervision. Over 126 Alpine Rescue technicians are working to widen narrow passages using small explosive charges. The operation could take several days, with Piana's safe extraction expected by Thursday morning. This is not her first incident in the same cave, as she was previously trapped for 40 hours in July 2023
