Two of the four bodies of the Italian divers who died during a dive in the Maldives have been recovered . This was confirmed by a spokesperson for the Maldivian president, while the mission to recover the remaining two will begin tomorrow.
The bodies are those of Federico Gualtieri and Monica Montefalcone.
"I want to remember them smiling," said Carlo Sommacal, husband of the UniGe professor who died along with their daughter Giorgia. "I'm devastated," he added. "I just learned on TV that they found Monica and Chicco (Federico Gualtieri, ed.). I don't have the strength to say anything now; I haven't slept for days, I'm having nightmares. I just have to try to hold on, because my twenty-year-old son Matteo is here. What would happen?" Sommacal said he won't travel to Malé, where they'll presumably take the bodies. "I'll wait for them here."
