Italy is mourning the victims of
last weekend's Ethiopian Airlines disaster which claimed 157
lives, including those of eight Italians.
These included Sebastiano Tusa, a world-famous archaeologist
and the head of the Sicilian regional government's culture
department, who was on the flight from Addis Ababa to Nairobi to
attend a UNESCO conference in Malindi.
Virginia Chimenti and Maria Pilar Buzzetti worked for
Rome-based UN agency the World Food Program.
They were among 19 employees of UN organizations to die in
the crash.
Three other victims worked for the Africa Tremila NGO - Carlo
Spini, his wife Gabriella Vigiani and the association's
treasurer, Matteo Ravasio.
The other Italians who died in the disaster were aid worker
Rosemary Mumbi and Paolo Dieci, the president of the CISP NGO.
