In early September 2026, reports emerged regarding two separate missing persons cases in Italy. In Bergamo, 21-year-old Santiago Francesco De Oliveira disappeared on September 4 after leaving his grandmother’s home without identification or a charged mobile phone. In Tivoli, 44-year-old Paolo Di Virginio was reported missing on September 12 after failing to respond to family contact following his departure from home at dawn.

By October, the focus shifted toward the search for Santiago Francesco De Oliveira in Bergamo. Following a lack of certain traces regarding his whereabouts, the local community—specifically the Bolivian community in Bergamo—raised approximately 8,600 euros. These funds were intended to support De Oliveira’s grandmother in hiring a private investigator to assist in the search.
