The desire for the sea and fishing in the Palo area . He went out in his boat to go fishing in his usual place but he never reappeared. Hours of anguish in Ladispoli yesterday in the stretch of Palo Laziale. It is near the historic bunker that Alberto A., a 70-year-old Roman, often went to practice diving. Like yesterday, except that something did not go the right way and there was no more news of the pensioner. The searches started by the men of the Port Authority of Ladispoli-San Nicola, by the volunteers of the Dolphin Civil Protection of Ladispoli, with the help of expert divers, and also by the Firefighters who intervened with the 26A team to patrol the coast aboard the Drago helicopter. The divers of the fire brigade are also in action. The agents of the municipal police and the Carabinieri of the local station in via dei Narcisi were immediately activated by land to sift the entire beach from via Regina Elena to the hamlet of Marina San Nicola .
According to what was reconstructed, the man came out with his boat from a storage in via Roma, around 11 am, on the north coast of the city. He would have crossed the central stretch and, as usual, dropped the anchor and the ball to indicate his position in the bunker area, between the free beach next to the Be Bop A Lula bathhouse and the castle of Palo. Reconnaissance tours were carried out wide and long also with jet skis, without however finding the Roman diver who probably remained in depth. The Dolphin in the afternoon then recovered Alberto's boat, dragging it to shore. Many citizens, including vacationers who were on the beach in Ladispoli, they remained on the seafront in via Marina di Palo with bated breath to observe the operations which ended around 18.30. Naturally great apprehension of the family and friends of the 70-year-old who has never re-emerged to the surface. Yesterday the sea was calm, the investigators think either of an illness or an accident in depth. The hopes of finding him alive are minimal.
