Overview
- The 61-year-old worker, Salvatore Calignano, was found gravely injured in an isolated street in Caivano after a 118 emergency call on Friday and died in hospital the following day.
- Before losing consciousness he told medics he had fallen from a ladder and his wife said he had been working on a warehouse roof doing undeclared ('in nero') repairs.
- Prosecutors at Procura di Napoli Nord have opened an inquiry, entrusted the carabinieri with the probe, seized Calignano’s cellphone and ordered an autopsy to reconstruct events.
- Investigators are checking employment records that show a formal hiring the day before the incident and are seeking to identify who called emergency services and the exact site of the accident.
- The victim’s family and labor groups are demanding answers and justice, and the case has been framed by reporters and unions as part of a wider problem of unsafe, undeclared work in Italy.
