Overview
- The twins' deaths, which occurred Tuesday evening in località La Goga near Magione, were confirmed after 118 crews could not revive them.
- Firefighters' first account says a long pole used for a call bird—a trained pigeon used as a decoy—touched medium-voltage wires at about ten meters.
- One brother was reportedly struck first during the attempt to free the pigeon, and the other likely died trying to help, with the exact sequence still under investigation.
- Their father and an uncle found them near midnight, then firefighters recovered the bodies from the hard-to-reach site as Carabinieri documented the scene.
- Local leaders offered condolences, and the case highlights the deadly risk when conductive rods or tubes are raised near power lines in rural hunting areas.
