A 98-year-old woman had two pieces of
shrapnel from a World War Two Allied bomb removed from leg this
week after living with the metal fragments since 1944.
Lina Martelli, originally from Gabbiana di Castellucchio near
Mantua, was operated on in a Mantua hospital.
"They tried to remove them back then but they couldn't do it.
I'm better now. For the rest, it will be as God wills," she
said.
