On 20 November 2012, 15-year-old Andrea Spezzacatena took his own life. It was the first case in Italy of bullying and cyberbullying that led to a minor's suicide. The triggering incident was his choice to wear a pair of red trousers, a gift from his mother, which turned pink due to a washing mishap.
