The ship was carrying mainly Italian passengers, but also British, Germans,
French, Spanish, Americans and others. Many were elderly and some were in
wheelchairs.
Passengers have said they had been given little or no information in the
immediate aftermath of the ship running aground.
Two French tourists and a Peruvian crew member were known to have died. On
Sunday the bodies of two elderly men were found on the ship. There was
confusion about the number of people still unaccounted for. The president of
the Tuscan region said the number stood at 17 but other estimates were as
high as 34.
