of death and recovery. The Fire Brigade and the Carabinieri collaborated in the operations.
The last message was at 1.15pm on Sunday. The 68-year-old had not returned from a hike on Mombarone. A team of about fifteen volunteers from the Ivrea Alpine Rescue Station has been involved, with a group of firefighters and the carabinieri from the Settimo Vittone station, in their search since Sunday.
His wife had given the alarm in the late afternoon, worried about the delay and now the searches affect all the slopes of Mombarone, both from San Giacomo and from Trovinasse but unfortunately for now without results.
