President Sergio Mattarella on
Saturday paid tribute to Lorenzo Parelli, an 18-year-old
high-school student who was crushed to death in 2022 by a steel
bar while on a work-experience programme in Udine, on the third
anniversary of his passing.
The head of State marked the anniversary in a message to
Parelli's home region, Friuli Venezia Giulia, which has created
'Lorenzo's Charter', a document signed by schools, business and
public authorities that seeks to promote a culture of workplace
health and safety.
"Safety in the workplace is a crucial issue in order to
guarantee the real protection of the fundamental rights that
the Republic recognises for each person," Mattarella said.
"Lorenzo's Charter is a permanent appeal aimed at ensuring
synergy between training organisations and companies to
guarantee safe working environments, where the student is placed
in a central position.
"The tragic death of Lorenzo Parelli during an internship in
Udine dramatically drew Italian society's attention to the
processes that accompany young people as they enter the world of
work".
