A father has been fined for
entering a closed ski-run in order to leave flowers at the spot
where his son died five years ago, local media reported
Thursday.
Mauro Rossato, an engineer from Mestre, was fined in winter
2015 after being spotted side-stepping up the Canalino del
Canalone della Tofana ski-run which has been closed since
nine-year-old Andrea lost his life after skiing into a tree.
He reportedly explained that he had not in fact skied down
the run, but accessed it from a nearby open run, then passing
through a forest to emerge 20 m downhill from the point he
wanted to reach.
However, his explanation was to no avail.
Rossato appealed against the fine but his appeal was
rejected.
