A 12 year old boy drowned this morning in Falconara Marittima (Ancona).
The very young man, born in Jesi and of Nigerian origin, was bathing with some peers: he dived near the pier - in an area where there is no obligation to monitor - and did not resurface.
The friends raised the alarm, the 118 air ambulance arrived on site and lowered a doctor with a winch onto the beach but there was already nothing more that could be done for the boy. The mother felt ill and was rescued.
