A tragedy was narrowly avoided this morning on the Sorrento Peninsula: a man fell into the water, dragged by a rogue wave, while fishing with a group of friends in the 'Regina Giovanna' area off the tip of Sorrento.

While some friends were sending out an SOS, one of them tried to reach him to save him, but gave up due to the force of the sea.

The personnel of the Port Authority of Castellammare di Stabia, also supported by a Civil Protection helicopter, arrived on site in a short time and after having identified him in the stormy sea, they managed to save him.

The man is hospitalized, with numerous injuries, at the Santa Maria della Misericordia civil hospital in Sorrento.
