The man hit by the bullet fired from the gun of Emanuele Pozzolo during a New Year's party in Rosazza (Biella), a charming village in the upper Cervo Valley, is called Luca Campana. Thirty-one years old, an electrician, he lives with the daughter of the head of security for Andrea Delmastro, Valentina, with whom he has two children. His mother-in-law, a nurse, was the first to realize that the situation was more serious than it initially seemed and came to his aid immediately after the shot.
Who is Luca Campana
"Why didn't I report it earlier? Because he is a politician and I am a simple worker," Campana stated. He presented himself to the investigators with his lawyer, Marco Romanello, and filed a complaint against the parliamentarian, recounting what happened to him during what was supposed to be a normal evening of celebrations in Rosazza.
The shot and the aid
"I didn't even understand - he says leaning on the crutch - if it was a real gun or a fake one. When I felt the blow to my leg I thought it was a paintball type bullet. It was painful, but bearable. I moved to another room to check better, I saw the hole and I felt bad."
After the first aid from his mother-in-law, Campana was taken to the hospital in Ponderano. The bullet had lodged in his quadriceps after following a trajectory parallel to the floor (this excludes that he picked up the weapon from the ground). The doctors, with a delicate microsurgery operation, extracted it from the opposite side of the thigh, the back, under the buttock. "Now I feel a continuous cramp in the muscle and every movement increases the pain." Campana describes himself as "angry" more than anything else for the stories that have circulated in recent days. "I understand - he says - that it was an accidental fact but I just want them to take their responsibility."
The investigations
The results of the Stub, the specialist examination to detect traces of gunpowder, carried out on Pozzolo's hands and clothes, are awaited. Today the list of witnesses has been extended with the hearing of the deputy commissioner of the penitentiary police, head of security for the Undersecretary Andrea Delmastro. The agent - Campana's son-in-law - was at the party with the government member. He too would have essentially confirmed the electrician's account. At the party, moreover, there were children. And it is precisely thinking about the children that Luca Campana observes that "it could have been much worse."
