They are Filippo Bari, Tommaso Carollo and Paolo Dani, residing in the province of Vicenza . And then by Liliana Bertoldi, 54, from Levico (Trento) . Known throughout the Trentino, she worked as a street vendor with a van for the sale of spit-roasted chickens. Eight instead were injured (two seriously).
RESEARCH - The rescuers are at work tirelessly, with all the equipment available to pick up the slightest signal but recovering intact bodies seems to be impossible at least for those who, at the time of the collapse, were in the highest part of the road on which they fell the landslide.
As explained Maurizio Dell'Antonio, of the National Alpine Rescue , it is possible for now to act with the overflight with drones and the identification of any type of find, then "you go there very quickly, whoever gets off the helicopter makes a sort of photographic documentation, we take the find and go away. We just go to recover something on the surface. We can no longer dig, the mass of snow has become so consolidated that it cannot even be engraved with a pickaxe ".
In recent inspections, some clothing was identified during inspections with drones , it is not known whether they are attributable to the victims of the disaster or whether they are previous finds. Also found "other remains and personal effects" .
THE INVESTIGATIONS - "At this moment we can absolutely exclude a predictability and a negligence or an imprudence". This was stated by the chief prosecutor of Trento, Sandro Raimondi , regarding the investigations launched after the tragedy. "The unpredictability at this moment is that which is the protagonist - added Raimondi - since to have a responsibility you need to be able to foresee an event, which is very difficult ".
"When the Carabinieri of Cavalese called me immediately after the tragedy - concluded the prosecutor -, they spoke to me of an almost apocalyptic situation ".
MATTARELLA - The President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella also spoke about what happened on the Marmolada. “This is a tragedy that is a symbolic element of what climate change, if not governed, is producing in the world. It requires the full collaboration of all, otherwise it is not governed ", said the Head of State. Adding:" There are countries that do not commit themselves. We must call everyone to take on further commitments ".
