One person drowned on Thursday
morning while three other swimmers were rescued after they got
caught in rough currents on a beach in the north-western city of
Savona.
The four beachgoers from Turin had decided to go for a swim
in spite of the rough sea, rescuers said.
Two were pulled from the water by other beachgoers while a
third was rescued by helicopter and taken to the San Paolo
hospital in Savona for treatment.
The body of the victim, aged 50, was found close to the beach
by port authorities and firefighters at the scene.
