A father in San Giorgio a Cremano says his seven-year-old daughter found a metal bolt in her school lunch, in a case reported on 12 November 2026 by Il Mattino.
According to the report, the girl found the object, described as about 1.5 cm long, in a plate of pasta with pumpkin served during school lunch at the IC "Massimo Troisi". The father identified himself as Eduardo Russo and said his daughter risked serious harm, summarized in his reported words: "Mia figlia di 7 anni ha rischiato di morire a scuola per un bullone nel piatto."
Russo said his daughter removed the object with help from a classmate and handed it to a teacher. He also said he sent a formal notice about the episode to the school principal and to the mayor, Michele Carbone.
What officials said would follow
The mayor said the school principal would file a formal complaint and that checks would be conducted, including a formal challenge to the catering company responsible for school meals.
No independently published confirmation of the complaint, inspections, or any response from the catering company was located. The identity of the catering company and the outcome of any health or safety investigation remain unclear.
What is established and what is not
The available research records allegations and announced actions. It does not establish whether the bolt was connected to the preparation of the meal or to catering equipment.
The precise school building where the meal was served is also not independently confirmed by the available sources. Any further verified information would need to come from the school or municipal authorities.
Local school context
San Giorgio a Cremano, in the Metropolitan City of Naples, has multiple public primary-school facilities and school complexes, including facilities associated with the Massimo Troisi school network, according to a school directory for the municipality.
For parents reading the report, two points matter most: the father's account says the object was noticed before it was swallowed and was given to a teacher, and the municipal response described so far concerns verification and action toward the catering provider rather than a completed finding.
