Mugnaini, the man of the hour, informed medics,

“Everyone was happy.” 

He continued,

“Suddenly, I found myself in another dimension, in the dark, in the void,” according to Corriere della Sera.

He added,

“In a moment, I heard bodies falling on me, along with rubble of all kinds, dust, splinters.”

As reported by the newspaper, he witnessed his close friend with a bleeding head injury, prompting him to call out for his newlywed wife, concerned that she might be trapped under the debris. The couple was eventually reunited and taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. They were discharged by the local health authority a few hours later.
