The 31-year-old Marina lieutenant Michele Savarese died while he was at sea as part of a diving specialization course. According to reports from the Navy, the 31-year-old was in training at 10.30 when he fell ill.

Investigations are underway to verify the causes of the incident and the young man's family has been reached by the terrible news. TheThe 31-year-old was in the Comsubin base to obtain the diving patent, not as a raider or diver. Savarese was in service at the office for setting up and testing new units at Muggiano.
