MILAN (AP) — Italian firefighters say that they have recovered four bodies from a northern Italian lake after a tourist boat capsized in a sudden, violent storm. Divers searched through the night after a whirlwind overturned the boat carrying 21 tourists and crew of two on Italy’s Lake Maggiore on Sunday evening. The final body was recovered early Monday. Firefighters said 19 people were saved. Many reportedly managed to swim to shore, or were picked up by other boats.
