The 14-year-old, named in Italian media as Skyler, was enjoying the first day of the trip to the Italian capital with her parents and two siblings when she was suddenly taken ill after a meal and dying.
Police are probing the death of a British teenager with a peanut allergy who died after eating baklava on a family vacation to Rome.
A source told the Mirror: "It's an incredible tragedy. It was the first night of their holiday and they only chose to get some food at the restaurant as it was close to where they were staying. Her parents are devastated and can still barely speak. They can't believe what has happened." They are believed to be investigating if traces of peanuts, to which the girl is claimed to be highly-allergic to, were present in the baklava.
The Mirror understands the family arrived back at their home in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, on Monday and are now planning to return to Rome to speak to the Italian authorities. Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, 15, died in July 2016 as a result of a severe allergic reaction to a baguette from Pret A Manger, which had not listed its full ingredients.
