Funeral on hold as search goes on for missing in Genoa crash (ANSA) - Rome, May 13 - Divers continued to search on Monday for the last body that remained missing after a container ship crash in Italy's busiest port on May 7.

A funeral for those who died - scheduled for Monday - was postponed to allow more time to find 33-year-old Coastguard Sergeant Gianni Jiacoviello. Seven bodies were identified immediately following the crash on Tuesday night when the Jolly Nero slammed into the port's control tower.

An eighth, Warrant Officer Francesco Cetrola, was found by divers on Friday.
