Overview
- Luigi Cavallari, 84, went missing after diving from the couple’s boat and his wife Eugenia Roccella raised the alarm on Saturday, June 27.
- The Prefettura di Viterbo has coordinated round‑the‑clock operations that include Vigili del Fuoco divers flown in from multiple regions supported by jet skis, aerial drones and remotely operated vehicles.
- An experimental marine drone was used on July 2 and teams have analyzed ROV data to narrow the search to mapped points while inspectors checked wastewater outlets and a small stream estuary for traces.
- Searchers say lake conditions — near‑zero visibility at about 4 meters, thick bottom vegetation and rapidly falling temperatures with depth — make diver visual recovery extremely difficult.
- Roccella has publicly thanked those who sent messages of support as authorities continue focused, data‑driven searches and the family waits for a definitive outcome.
