Getting on the fire brigade van has always been his dream : now it has come true. Stefano Rodriguez, 43, is a boy from Cagliari suffering from Down syndrome with a great passion for firefighters: now, finally, he has had the opportunity to visit the barracks in viale Marconi .

Not only that, because the Fire Brigade also gave him a ride on the truck . Stefano gets excited, looks around, then turns his gaze to his assistant, Lucia, who has been living with him for 18 years : «For me he is like a son», he says.

And Stefano and Lucia's thanks go to those firefighters who made his dream come true: they are Carlo Leoncini, Roger Falqui, Marco Etzi and Ciro Formisano, from today Stefano's "Fantastic 4".
