There were 32 people in the Hotel
Roma in Amatrice when Wednesday's 6.2-magnitude earthquake
struck, and not 80 as first thought, Mayor Sergio Pirozzi said
Thursday. Four of them have been pulled from the rubble, and two
more "may" also be shortly rescued. "The rest are either dead or
injured," he said. Many tourists were in the historic town for
the 50th annual festival of its famed amatriciana sauce made of
tomatoes, guanciale and pecorino.
