One year after the death of Italian alpine skier Matteo Franzoso following a training crash at La Parva in Chile, his family has called for increased safety measures and greater accountability. The family expressed frustration with the Italian Winter Sports Federation (FISI), stating they felt “abandoned” due to a lack of follow-up regarding the incident.

Subsequently, the FISI Federal Prosecutor dismissed disciplinary proceedings related to the accident. The investigation determined the crash resulted from a combination of factors, including Franzoso’s maneuver and the track's structural conditions, specifically noting a rigid fence that did not meet safety criteria for high-speed training. While investigators noted a lack of oversight regarding the track layout, the prosecutor decided to archive the case due to “insufficient evidence to pursue disciplinary action against specific members.” FISI stated that criminal investigations by the Republic's Prosecutor remain ongoing.
