The via Primo Maggio episode
On the evening of Monday 9 November 2026, around 8:30pm, Bonjour happened to be passing through Luserna San Giovanni, on via Primo Maggio, when he noticed a man lying on the asphalt in a semi-conscious state, at risk of being hit by passing cars. Together with the municipal councillor of Luserna San Giovanni, Maurizio Caffaro, who arrived shortly afterwards, Bonjour stopped to help, using a torch to divert traffic and protect the man, who occupied the whole lane with his body. The two were later replaced in directing traffic by the fire brigade, who arrived on the scene by chance, while the man was eventually taken to hospital by ambulance. [1]
The episode was the second of this kind to occur in a few days on the same street: about ten days earlier, on Friday 30 October, another man lying on the roadway at the entrance to the town had been helped by a Croce Verde volunteer. [1]
