Missing mushroom picker found by Alpine Rescue in Petralia Soprana

Explain me briefly the following article:

Rescued by the Sicilian Alpine and Speleological Rescue teams, in the early afternoon of Saturday, June 8, the 66-year-old mushroom picker from Palermo who was missing in the territory of Petralia Sottana.

The alarm was raised around 1 pm by the 118 emergency center, which alerted the Cnsas. The rescuers, from Petralia Sotttana, Palermo, and Eastern Sicily, started the search for the man, starting from the point indicated thanks to the geographical coordinates provided by the friends who were accompanying the mushroom picker. After venturing into the forest from the Pomieri Refuge, at a certain point they lost sight of him among the dense vegetation.

The disoriented man had reached the area of Orrido di Fosso Canna, a deep valley with a watercourse, high walls, and rock jumps.

After slipping several times along the sides of the valley, fortunately without physical consequences, and stopping near a wall in a particularly rugged area, the missing person was located by the Cnsas rescue teams around 2.40 pm.

After evaluating his health conditions, by a health professional in the rescue team, the man was escorted out of the wooded area to the Petralia-Piano Battaglia road, where his friends with whom he had left were waiting for him.
