"I'm shocked, I didn't deserve this from a school that I love, and where I maintain excellent relationships with everyone, students and colleagues." The speaker is Lodovico Antonio Piccolo , 66 years old, an architect originally from Pescara (Abruzzo), a teacher at the “Mario Paglietti” institute of higher education in Porto Torres , who reported a serious episode of violence suffered by a man to the police of the local company. 17 year old student . He crushed the fingers of his right hand when closing the door to the point of injuring his third and fourth fingers , injuries that required six stitches and 8 days of illness extended for other days. "Because I can't drive to school ."

The facts date back to Thursday 14 March during the course of teaching activities, when the boy attending the second class of the Nautical Institute asked to leave for personal needs by going to another classroom, the first class, probably called by another student and where the professor held the lesson. The teacher was insulted several times with swear words and threats .

At that point the 66-year-old headed towards the other classroom to inform his colleague of the incorrect behavior shown towards him by one of his students. «So I put my hand on the door and the 17-year-old closed my fingers twice, causing several injuries to my fingertips », explains the teacher.

Forced to go to the emergency room of Santissima Annunziata for treatment, Lodovico Antonio Lo Piccolo reported the incident to the Carabinieri of the Porto Torres Company. Having identified the student, the military is proceeding with the investigations of the case before transmitting the documents to the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office. The school director, Daniele Taras, has launched an internal investigation to take disciplinary measures against the 17-year-old, already suspended for other episodes relating to inappropriate behaviour.

«In addition to demonstrating full solidarity with the teacher who was the victim of the attack on “Mario Paglietti” – declares the councilor for Social Services, Simona Fois – we question the reasons that could lead students to carry out such violent gestures and acts of opposition to authority school and what we adults can do to avoid them. It would be appropriate to multiply the moments of meeting and discussion to understand their states of mind and direct them towards more virtuous behaviour."
