A snapshot uploaded in June 2020 on the Polizia di Stato—Italian National Police—Instagram account depicted a touching interaction between cops and a retiree.
An 87-year-old woman in Florence allegedly phoned them because she was hungry and felt alone.
According to reports, she was left alone when the caretaker her son had hired failed to arrive that day.

To avoid burdening her son amid the economic crisis, she instructed him not to spend money to see her. But after a few hours, she still hadn’t eaten and couldn’t cook for herself, so she phoned 113 for assistance.
“I’m tired and hungry, but I can’t cook because my arm hurts,” she stated.
Shortly after the call, cops Antonio and Giuseppe arrived and prepared dinner for her, which was photographed and shared online.
