Michele D'Ambrosio, former mayor of
Santeramo near Bari, on Tuesday said from an Athens hotel room
Tuesday that the sky above the Greek capital was "the colour of
fire" on Monday.
"We are safe in a hotel in Athens. Yesterday's flight was
cancelled and they took us to the hotel," he said on the phone
from Athens, where dozens of people have died in fires in the
last few hours.
"We should be leaving today. The sky of Athens yesterday was
a yellow colour, it seemed like a sand storm, it was the colour
of fire".
