The tragedy that occurred on New Year's Eve 2022 in Breonio di Fumane, in the province of Verona, had an epilogue in court, with the conviction of the young woman driving the car involved in the accident in which she lost her life Valentina Benedetti Vallenari. The victim, a 25-year-old from Sant'Anna d'Alfaedo, was traveling with a friend to a New Year's Eve party when their Fiat Punto went off the road and crashed into a tree on the provincial road .

Valentina was pulled from the wreckage and resuscitated on the spot. The injuries to her head and chest were so severe that she lost her life a few hours later in Negrar hospital. The friend who was driving accused of vehicular homicide, she took a plea deal 16 months in prison with a suspended sentence, established by judge Carola Musio.

According to the investigators' reconstructions, the young woman was driving too fast downhill with fifth gear engaged and was unable to maintain control of the vehicle, ending up crashing into a tree. Toxicological tests had ruled out that the driver was under the influence of alcohol or had taken drugs. A sad epilogue to an evening that should have been one of celebration and joy among a close-knit group of young people. The destination was a 300 metresi, but for Valentina it went differently than she had imagined.
