Ouch! Sorry to hear about your troubles Gianfranco.
At least you can be satisfied because you were able to prove two things:
a. bad things sometimes do happen to good people;
b. it does make sense to carry a back-up body, or two, or three...
Good luck with a swift recovery on all fronts.

Hi everybody,
As I mentioned in my last message, I left home to the Aeolian
Islands on the 13th. I'm not the kind of guy who believes much
in luck, but that number's fame should have a bit of meaning
after all...
I had five bodies with me, *ist D, LX, Fuji GS645, Yashica T5
and Ricoh GR1.
The last one was the first to go: it stopped working probably
after a couple of days. I had it mostly for real B&W shots, and
used it a bit before noticing that it was not exactly working
properly - it sounded like it was but in fact the shutter did
not open...
...[etc. etc. etc. etc.]...
Ciao,
Gianfranco
