(ANSA) - Paris, November 6 - There is a young Italian woman among those missing following the collapse of two buildings in Marseille on Monday, French media said Tuesday amid reports it may be a 30-year-old from Taranto.
    Simona Carpignano lived in one of the buildings that collapsed in Marseille, sources said Tuesday.
