According to the TGcom24 portal, Cristiano Giamporcaro, a 29-year-old filmmaker from Caltanissetta, Sicily, died after being struck by the propeller of a tourist boat while swimming in the sea off Punta Sottile, Lampedusa. The young man was accompanied by a woman, who reportedly decided to return to the beach shortly after entering the water. Giamporcaro remained in the sea signaling his presence with a buoy. According to initial reports, the boat, with two tourists on board, struck him. His body was recovered by the Coast Guard with the support of a specialized private vessel.
The Agrigento Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation for nautical homicide. The parents of Giamporcaro, son of former Caltanissetta councilwoman Maria Castiglione, went to the island to identify the body.
