An old-age pensioner who was lonely called the police for a chat and they even sent round some officers with a cake to celebrate his 80th birthday with him.
Luciano Caldiero, an 80-year-old retiree from the northeastern Italian city of Vicenza, in the Veneto region near Venice, called the police on Saturday, June 11, explaining that he was feeling lonely since his brothers and his last friend had all passed away.
A unit of carabinieri, Italy’s national police, sent around two officers to spend some time with him.
