Italy infant septic infection probe

Entities: Alessio Pio Coppolino · Hospital Pugliese‑Ciaccio (Catanzaro) · Family Baby School (Tropea) · Public Prosecutor's Office of Vibo Valentia · Procura di Catanzaro

Overview

In July 2026, Italian authorities investigated the death of 15‑month‑old Alessio Pio Coppolino, who died on 22 July after being taken to the Pugliese‑Ciaccio Hospital in Catanzaro. An autopsy showed a severe systemic septic infection that affected multiple organs, including the lungs, heart and central nervous system, with a polymicrobial cause still under analysis. The Catanzaro prosecutor’s office found no wrongdoing by the hospital and transferred the judicial inquiry to the prosecutor in Vibo Valentia. Health officials began monitoring 38 children who had attended the Family Baby School, a private daycare in Tropea, while epidemiological studies continued alongside the legal proceedings.
