Overview
- On Sunday, July 19, Faggi, 67, was struck and killed by a Fiat Panda while riding a bicycle between Viareggio and Massarosa after an alleged U-turn maneuver.
- The Procura della Repubblica di Lucca opened a file for omicidio stradale and assigned the Polizia locale di Massarosa to reconstruct the crash using witness statements and local camera footage.
- The car was driven by a 59-year-old woman who works as an OSS at Ospedale Versilia and who reportedly suffered a malore after giving an initial account while a two-year-old child was in the vehicle.
- Faggi had been the de facto manager of Orditura Luana and was previously involved in the 2021 criminal case over the death of 22-year-old worker Luana D’Orazio, a case that ended with plea deals for him and his wife and a later acquittal for a maintenance worker.
- His death removes a living defendant from the reopened Prato probe and could change how prosecutors pursue further responsibility in the D’Orazio case while renewing public focus on workplace safety and legal accountability.
