Latex: footnote command not working in solution environment of exam package

Question

I'm using exam package, I would like to add a footnote to a solution: it displays the mark but not the note text. In question environment it is all right.

documentclass[12pt, answers]{exam}
%documentclass[12pt]{exam}
usepackage[english, italian]{babel}
usepackage{graphicx}
usepackage{amssymb}
usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{color}
usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
usepackage{verbatim}
usepackage{minted}
usepackage{footnote}
renewcommand{solutiontitle}{noindenttextbf{Risposta:}enspace}

newcommand{col}[1]{{color[rgb]{0.094,0.235,0.36}{#1}}}
newcommand{myt}[1]{textbf{col{#1}}}
newcommand{myhdr}[4]{
pagestyle{headandfoot}
firstpageheader{myt{#1}}{Hugemyt{#2}}{myt{#3}}
runningheader{myt{#1}}{Hugemyt{#2}}{myt{#3}}
firstpagefooter{}{myt{#2}}{myt{#4}}
runningfooter{}{myt{#2}}{myt{#4}}

I would like to have it working even with my footer on, though commented in this example.

You can use the footnote pacakge to obtain footnotes from within the exam class:

Code:
documentclass[12pt, answers]{exam}

usepackage{footnote}
makesavenoteenv{solution}

begin{document}
begin{questions}

question
Some question
begin{solution} 
    Textfootnote{Some footnote} 
end{solution}

end{questions}
end{document}

I use endnotes (with the enotez package) in this context, and it seems to work smoothly. When I just want the exam without solutions, I comment out the printendnotes line at the end to not display the endnotes at all.
