Emergency responders rushed to the scene and took her to San Camillo Hospital but she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Investigating authorities have found traces of peanuts in the food that was served at the restuaunt and caused the fatal allergic reaction, DailyMail reports.

The family insisted their daughter was extremely vigilant about her allergy and typically informed restaurants about her dietary requirements.

However, it is unclear if the restaurant was made aware of her allergies on this occasion.

The tragedy happened just hours after the family reached Rome for a vacation.

They decided to have lunch at a restuaunt in the Gianicolense district of the Italian capital and ordered a few slices of pizza and drinks along with some dessert.

But as they were returning to their Airbnb, the girl began experiencing a severe allergic reaction before having a severe anaphylaxis attack.
