An Italian family's mountain hike took a hair-raising turn after a brown bear followed a child down a mountain path during a day out.

Alessandro was picking up pine cones in the bushes, where the family believes the bear, which they identified as an Marsican brown bear, had been sleeping. "I was nervous at first but then saw that the bear was not scared, was not acting, so I calmed down," he added.
