The shipwreck took place near a seaside resort on the eastern coast of Calabria, the region that forms the tip of Italy's boot. The boat was carrying about 120 people and hit rocks a few meters from shore.
His voice cracking up, Ceraso told the SkyTG24 news channel that he had seen "a spectacle that you would never want to see in your life ... a gruesome sight ... that stays with you for all your life".Curra said the vessel left Izmir in eastern Turkey three or four days ago, adding that survivors had said some 140 to 150 were on board.
Initial reports from ANSA and other Italian news agencies, spoke of 27 bodies washed up on the beach and more found in the water. Charities reject this, saying migrants set off regardless of whether rescue boats are in the vicinity.
