    Two bodies of victims after a 4-storey building collapsed following a gas explosion were removed from the rubble in the town of Ravanusa, Sicily in the early hours of Sunday morning (December 12).
    The fire brigade says it is still searching for eight people.
    A natural gas pipe exploded late on Saturday evening, causing one building to collapse and others to be damaged in the town of 11,000 near Agrigento, the southwestern Sicilian city famous for its Greek temples.
