After more than a month of intensive searches, the body of Luigi Cavallari, the husband of the Italian Minister for Family, Birth and Equal Opportunities, Eugenia Roccella, has been found in Lake Vico in the Italian region of Lazio. He had disappeared on June 27, after jumping into the water from a boat and never resurfaced.
Specialized firefighting teams from all over Italy participated in the search operation, writes rainews . The operation was made difficult by the conditions of the lake, as visibility underwater is very limited, while the muddy bottom and dense algae quickly cover any sinking object. For this reason, teams used sonar and underwater robots to check for any suspicious signals.
According to Italian media, Cavallari was on a boat with his wife when he decided to jump into the water for a swim, but was never seen again. A major search operation was launched immediately after his disappearance.
The volcanic lakes of the Lazio region are considered among the most dangerous in Italy due to sudden changes in water temperature and strong underwater currents, which have also caused other fatal incidents in the past. /Telegraph
