A march was held on Lampedusa
Tuesday in memory of the 368 migrants who died at sea in a
shipwreck off the island's coast on October 3, 2013.
Senate Speaker Pietro Grasso and Education Minister Valeria
Fedeli attended the march together with Lampedusa Mayor Totò
Martello.
As part of the memorial, a wreath was placed at sea at the
site of the shipwreck.
Grasso, Fedeli and Martello said Italy had made "a huge
effort" to make sure that such disasters "did not occur again".
"Let there never again be such a tragedy as this," said Lower
House social affairs committee chair Mario Marazziti, speaking
in Rome.
