Search at sea for missing boy in Porto Venere

The search continues for a 21-year-old boy, resident in the province of La Spezia, who fell from the dinghy during the Ferragosto celebration in Porto Venere. The search machine, activated on Saturday evening, involves around 50 people including the Coast Guard, Navy, Fire Brigade, State Police, Carabinieri, Financial Police and Alpine Rescue, with naval units and helicopters.

The dinghy, headed for Portovenere, suffered an accident in the waters of the Rosse, a very popular stretch of coast. After the fall, one of the two fallen boys was recovered immediately, while the other was never seen again.

An advanced command point was installed in the small port of Porto Venere where the boy's family and friends gathered together with the mayor Francesca Sturlese. Favorable weather conditions help search operations.
