An odyssey that of Stefano Lancilli, 37 years spent in the police between Milan and Lodi. He had entered the hospital in November for pneumonia, then the diagnosis of legionella (with two weeks in intensive care) and later hospitalization in Codogno for orthopedic troubles that kept him from even moving.

Early retirement
But the agent is a fighter. Gradually it improves and manages to get out of it. A miracle, I see no other explanation. Exactly one month later the swab was finally negative. For rehabilitation they transferred me to Sant’Angelo Lodigiano, my muscles completely atrophied from the forced entrapment, from the bust down I could not move a step. Ever since he set foot in the hospital he lost 35 kilos – says his wife -. It took him months to even get from bed to chair. He risked ending up in a wheelchair for life. But he managed to start walking again, the doctors were exceptional. On October 9, the very long rehabilitation and the agent returns home where his wife Nadia and their two children await him. Given its condition, the Ministry of the Interior anticipates his retirement. He will never go back to his place in the police station switchboard: I will miss my colleagues very much, who were really close to me, but now a second phase of my life begins: I lost a year with my family, I am only interested in being with them and watching my children grow up.
