Marmolada, who are victims and missing

The first identified victim of the glacier disaster of the Marmolada is Davide Miotti, 51 years old, mountain guide from Tezze sul Brenta and owner of the “Su e sotto sport” shop. He was an expert connoisseur of the mountains, of the Marmolada in particular. On the list of the missing is his wife, Erica Campagnaro, 45.

According to the official bulletin given by the chief prosecutor of Trento, Sandro Raimondi, there are 6 identified dead and 8 injured, of which two in serious condition. One person is hospitalized in Treviso, with a reserved prognosis. Among the wounded are two German citizens. There is a 27 year old from Barbarano Mossano hospitalized at the Santa Chiara hospital in Trento.

17 people are missing. Four of the victims have been identified. “For over a thousand meters we have found you remain mangled in the midst of a shapeless tide of ice and debris, ”he told al Corriere della Sera Gino Comelli of the Alpine Rescue.

There are two ropes overwhelmed by the ice. Rescue was difficult because the area is not safe. The superintendent of Trento asked everyone «not to approach the disaster area, because, beyond the danger of the site and the incivility of these behaviors, there is the risk of hindering the rescuers’ operations. We will be hard on those who violate the prohibitions ».

There are about ten cars left in the parking lots from which one starts for the climbs whose owners have not been identified. For the vicar commissioner Luigi Di Ruscio however, it is not a particularly significant datum: «A hiker often leaves the car where he finds a place and then travels for many kilometers, stopping to sleep in the bivouacs. For us it is of particular importance only if an acquaintance tells us that he no longer has any news of the owner of the car ».
