(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 9 - Two Italian rock climbers were saved
at the weekend after getting into difficulty on Capri's iconic
rock formation I Faraglioni.
The pair, originally from the province of Bari in Puglia,
reached the top of the innermost of the three craggy spires but
lost their way on the way back down.
A rescue team went in on a helicopter and winched the two
climbers to safety.
The three sea stacks of Faraglioni are among the most
photographed landmarks on the Bay of Naples island and a place
of romantic legend, with lovers said to be bound eternally if
they kiss while sailing through an arch in one of the three.
