Tragedy in Spain: The Two Italian Victims Have Been Identified

The two Italian women who died in the tragic train accident that occurred on October 28 in Urda, in the province of Toledo, Spain, have been identified. They are Ana Martina Conte Grand, 32, an Italian-Argentine native of San Juan, and Daniela Millan Parlanti, 40, an Italian-Venezuelan born in Caracas. Both were aboard the Renfe AVE train involved in the collision with an Iryo train on the Madrid-Seville high-speed line. The death toll from the disaster stands at at least 69.

Ana Martina Conte Grand was 32 years old and originally from San Juan, Argentina. She had been living in Andalusia since 2025 and was in Spain to visit her brother Jeremias and her newborn niece. He, too, was traveling on the train at the time of the accident and was injured; he is currently hospitalized in Toledo.

The woman had obtained Italian citizenship through her great-grandfather, who had emigrated from the province of Turin. Her story had already come to light in the days following the tragedy through her brother’s account, in which he reported seeing her lifeless body before losing consciousness.

The second victim is Daniela Millan Parlanti, 40, born in Caracas, Venezuela. A specialist in cardiopulmonary technologies and ultrasound, she had worked in Argentina before moving to Madrid, where she had started a family. At the time of the accident, she was traveling for professional reasons.
