In northern Italy, bear follows child (who remains calm)

The scene was filmed in Nova di Sporminore, in Trentino, this weekend

The scene is incredible, almost surreal: a bear appears from the bushes behind a child, who remains calm in a way no adult would probably be able to be.

Everything is captured through the lens of a cell phone. The scene was filmed in Trentino, this Sunday morning (24), above the Nova di Sporminore cabin.

Standing in line at the consulate doesn't erase your right to citizenship.

The Italian Supreme Court has confirmed that a consular blockade is legal grounds for legal action.

• Were you unable to schedule an appointment at the consulate?
• Is the process stalled or poorly managed?
• Maternal lineage?
• Incomplete documentation?

See if there is still a solution.

“We were there near the mountain pines, and I think there was a bear crouching down, and then he got up when he saw the boy Alessandro. I was a moment down. He is a bear lover and couldn't wait to see one. He already knew how to behave and walked away slowly and I managed to take the video. It was like that”, said the video’s author, Loris Calliari.

In the video – published by local TV station Trentino TV – you hear a terrified woman and other people's voices.
