Micio saved the life of an entire family, but not his. This is the story of a dead cat suffocated by the fumes of a fire after however warning his family of what was happening.
The facts take place in Gargnano in the Alto Garda, around 10.30 pm: a fire breaks out on the roof of a villa. Inside the house there is an entire family who does not notice anything, but remains watching television in the living room. Everyone, but not the house cat who has realized that something is wrong and starts meowing. But not in the usual way. His meow is insistent and agitated, so much so as to attract the attention of one of the daughters of the family. The girl leaves the house and discovers that the roof of the building is completely engulfed in flames. So she raises the alarm and warns her brother that at that moment she is in a room next door unaware of everything.
The flames broke out for reasons yet to be ascertained, but in a short time they devoured the sheath and the wooden roof, then destroying the living area on the ground floor, the kitchen, a bathroom and the laundry room. The first attempts to stem the fire were useless.
In all these moments of tension and fear, no trace of Micio was lost: at first everyone was convinced that the cat had escaped to the garden, while instead he had taken refuge in a bedroom and there he was trapped and killed by the smoke from the fire. A hero’s death, after saving his family.
