This morning, around noon, the agitated sea and the high waves did not stop the courage of four young people from Isola di Capo Rizzuto, protagonists of a gesture that avoided a tragedy in the waters of Le Castella.
Two Roman tourists, father and daughter, on vacation in the renowned fraction of Isola Capo Rizzuto, had dived despite the adverse weather-marine conditions and, due to the currents, could no longer return to the shore. To help them, without hesitation, were the lifeguards of Le Castella Resort & Beach, Carmine Mirarchi and Antonio Zecchinello, who launched themselves between the waves up to a meter and a half to move them to rescue.
The situation appeared immediately difficult and risky, so much so that two other young employees of the structure, Giuseppe Giardino and Domenico Tipaldi, in turn thrown into the water to help colleagues. They too reached and brought other tourists back to shore who, in an attempt to help, had endangered.
The Port Authority of Crotone intervened on the spot, which took note of the situation and congratulated the boys for the rescue.
A gesture that resonates strongly in a delicate moment for the territory that cries the death of the young Filippo Verterame.
