Yesterday, the large Folgore family was shocked by the tragic and sudden news of the death of Paratrooper Davide Dalla Pria, a member of the Folgore.8th Parachute Guerrilla Regiment Folgoredied of cardiac arrest. Dalla Pria, originally from Ospedaletto (Padua), was 32 years old on 4 October.
Known for his attachment to the uniform and for his strong sense of belonging to the Paratroopers' specialty, Della Pria was in Rome to conduct a refresher course. In addition to serving in the prestigious Legnago department, he was also an ANPdI Instructor, thanks to which, in 2014, he had approached parachuting at the Ferrara section.
We also learn from the ANPdI website who had been a member of his department's team in charge of restoring the Saronno Parachutists' Monument, vandalised by unknown assailants about a year ago.
BRIGATAFOLGORE.NET joins the grief of family, friends and colleagues at the untimely death of Davide.
Parachutist Davide Dalla Pria! Present!
Thunderbolt!
