Without a doubt, a 16-year-old teenager was the right man at the right time. What was going to be a normal day for him, turned into an episode that he will remember for the rest of his life.
The Romanian teenager became a hero in Italy thanks to his civic spirit
A 16-year-old has become a hero in Italy. The kid with Romanian origins saved a woman from death. The coincidence made it also Romanian, which led many to believe that nothing is accidental.
Emanuele Nicola Affaticati was the right man, at the right time. Almost two years ago, in December, he was on a train in Italy. The kid had no idea what scene he was about to witness.
While sitting on the train, he overheard a man’s phone conversation. Nothing unusual so far, except that the man was also Romanian. The whole discussion was held in Romanian, so Emanuele could understand everything.

The man was telling the person on the other end of the line that he wanted to kill his girlfriend. At first, Emanuele thought it was a joke. Because the discussion progressed and the plan seemed serious, Emanuele realized that everything was as real as it could be.
At that moment, the teenager realized that he had to act quickly. Without thinking, he called the police and reported the man’s intentions. The police immediately arrested him.
Emanuela Nicola received a distinction from President Sergio Mattarella
Emanuele’s gesture did not go unrewarded. That day, the boy was a true hero, and President Sergio Mattarella awarded him for his civic spirit.
By far, the proudest was his mother, Ramona Rosemari Lascu. Both she and her son felt truly honored to receive the award from the president. The woman believes that Emanuele inherited the courage from his father who works in the Romanian Navy.

“It’s a real honor for me and my son.”the woman told the Italian press.
Initially, Emanuele’s mother thought it was a rumour. Only after contacting the President’s Secretariat did he realize that it was not a joke, but that everything was as real as it could be.
Thanks to the civic spirit and courage that Emanuele Nicola had, the Romanian woman, the lover of the arrested man lives peacefully today. The woman had no words to thank the teenager for what he had done for her.
