The students and accompanying staff from the “Ugo Foscolo” High School in Albano Laziale who were at the scene of yesterday’s shooting in Market Square are returning to Italy from Kraków today.
Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani spoke with the teachers and students to offer encouragement and reassure them that Foreign Ministry officials had been closely following their situation during the most critical hours. “We will continue to assist you until your departure. We hope you will soon be able to put this terrible chapter behind you. Yesterday, the Foreign Ministry and Italian diplomats in Poland did everything possible to ensure your safety,” he said.
In agreement with the travel agency that organised the trip, the students opted to leave as soon as possible, travelling by coach because no seats were available on scheduled flights. Departure is planned for this morning.
