Eighth victim pulled dead from landslide
Italian search teams digging through meters of mud and debris for a third day recovered the eighth victim Monday, identified by the Naples prefect as a 15-year-old boy whose younger siblings were also confirmed dead over the weekend.
Victims include a 3-week-old infant who was named Giovangiuseppe after the island's patron saint, and his parents.
Exceptionally heavy rain caused a chunk of Mount Epomeo to come crashing down before dawn on Saturday, gaining speed as it entered the populated port town of Casamicciola, where it demolished buildings and carried cars and buses into the sea.
