He had decided to go for a swim after hearing about his grandfather&apos;s death. His GoPro captured the horrifying moments as the shark attacked him. Matteo said: &quot;I started this video a few moments after the last bite, I wanted to say goodbye.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: Self-styled \u2018Sexy Sarah\u2019 battered prison guard in cell before biting another\u2019s leg<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>For more of the latest news from the Daily Star, click here.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&quot;I never thought I would survive that monster.

Matteo remembered: &quot;It was 4:30 pm on Friday, and I had just learned that my grandfather Giovanni had died.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I needed to relax, and I thought of taking a swim not far from the shore. I took a small camera to capture the fish, but after a few steps, I felt a terrible pain in my foot.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Matteo moved to Australia from Parma, Italy, in September. He planned to stay there to find work and study marine biology.<\/p>\n<p>His father Michele told Italian media: &quot;Matteo was strong, calm, and courageous: with his hands, he opened the shark&apos;s mouth to free his leg.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31656525.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_PAY-1034886011064911.jpg\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<figure data-mod=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31653707.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s458\/0_JS319331593_Banner.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p> Glam female prison officer, 26, &apos;had secret phone sex with inmate&apos; and &apos;met his mum&apos;<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/@trinitymirrordigital\/chameleon-branding\/publications\/dailystar\/img\/logo-schema-dailystar.png\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The video shows the water turning red with Matteo&apos;s blood as he swam to shore as fast as he could.

There, doctors had to amputate his left leg below the knee. <\/p>\n<p>Michele said: &quot;He didn&apos;t see the shark coming, perhaps a tiger shark or a great white shark, common in that area, which attacked him from behind three times.&quot; <\/p>\n<p>He added: &quot;But he is alive, and that is what matters.&quot; <\/p>\n<p>The 1770 Beach, near a river mouth, is known for its dangerous waters. Especially after rain, sharks come to feed on fish brought in by the water flow.<\/p>\n<p><b> * This article was crafted with the help of an AI tool, which speeds up Daily Star&apos;s editorial research.
