A nine-year-old girl died from a wheat allergy after eating gnocchi at a restaurant in Rome last Thursday, sources said Monday.
The girl felt ill immediately after the meal, eaten with her family in the restaurant. She suffered spasms, vomit and difficulty breathing, symptoms that worsened continually until her parents decided to call an ambulance.
She was rushed to the ER at Casilino hospital, where she was revived.
Then her condition worsened and she was taken to the Gemelli hospital where she died after vain attempts to revive her.
