Search and rescue operations have now concluded after the last body was recovered at 8 a.m. local time , the fire service, Vigili del Fuoco, said in a tweet Monday. The 16-meter boat had been carrying 24 people when it encountered difficulty during a “violent storm” and capsized shortly after 7:30 p.m. local time on Sunday, CNN affiliate Sky Tg24 reported. There were 22 tourists on board, including British passengers, and two crew members, according to Sky Tg24.
