There is also an Italian among the injured in the terrorist attack last Friday at the Christmas markets in Magdeburg, Germany. It is Marco Forciniti, 40 years old, originally from Pietrapaola, in Calabria.

Manuela Labonia, mayor of the municipality in the province of Cosenza, announced the news in the early afternoon: "Unfortunately, we have received news that among the injured who are still fighting for their lives, there is a young man, the son of one of our fellow citizens." Initially, no personal details were disclosed.

"In these moments of great despair, we express our deepest sympathy to the family and our best wishes for a speedy recovery to the young man. Finally," added the mayor, "we express our solidarity with the families of all the other people affected and our best wishes for a speedy recovery to the other injured, reaffirming our closeness to the institutions and the German people and reiterating the strong commitment of the Italian State in the fight against terrorism, alongside Germany and in favor of the stability and security of the whole of Europe."

Forciniti made some statements to Bild: "I was looking at my cell phone, I ended up on top of the car because of the violence of the impact," he said. He suffered serious injuries to his lower limbs.
