Drama for Gianmarco Tamberi, a sudden mourning shakes the champion's family
A sudden mourning has struck the family of Gianmarco Tamberi, Olympic champion in high jump. His uncle passed away at the age of 61 years while he was walking along the paths of Coppo, in Sirolo. Well known in Camerano, he was apparently struck by a fatal cardiac arrest.
The dramatic episode occurred on Tuesday 13th May near via Ancarano. The man was accompanied by a friend when, during a walk, he collapsed on the ground due to illness. His walking companion immediately called for help at 112. Shortly after, the 118 medical staff intervened, attempting to revive him with cardiac massage and the use of a defibrillator. Unfortunately, all the attempts have proved futile.

“You were a life teacher.” With a few words, Tamberi announced the sad news. Subsequently, the Olympic champion paid a final tribute by posting a photo on his Instagram stories, accompanied by the message: “Sometimes life can be really s**t".
Giorgio Bartolucci, who had just turned 61 last April, was the owner of the Bartolucci Fixing System, a Camerano company specialized in the production of plastic anchors and fastening systems. Married to Catia Piastrellini, sister of Gianmarco's mother drums, leaves two sons, Leonardo and Tommaso.
