Before the Italian case concerning cryopreservation, the Italian Government had approved on October 28, 2026, the draft budget law for 2027, estimated at approximately 26 billion euros, with measures to support families, the birth rate, and work–family life balance. The proposals include a pension fund for every child born from 2027 onward (100 euros annually paid by the state into an account managed by INPS until the age of 18) and the extension of parental leave paid at 80% of salary, depending on the child’s birth order. The possibility of early retirement at age 64 is also being examined.

Giuseppe Fedele, a 54-year-old tour guide from the Italian city of Gaeta, has decided to invest approximately €200,000 in a cryopreservation procedure, hoping that medicine and technology will be able to bring him back to life in the future.
After his death, his body would be cooled and preserved in liquid nitrogen at minus 196 degrees Celsius. To cover the costs, the Italian man saves €50 a month for enrollment in the program and another €50 for life insurance. He rejected the cheaper option, costing approximately €75,000, which involves preserving only the brain.
The procedure involves replacing the blood with a protective fluid, transporting the body to a facility in Switzerland, and storing it in liquid nitrogen. Fedele constantly wears a tag requesting that he not be autopsied and indicating the organization that must be contacted.
Cryopreservation has not brought anyone back to life so far, and its effectiveness has not been scientifically demonstrated. According to information reported in the Italian press, 82 Italians are enrolled in the program.
