ASCOLI PICENO, Italy, Aug 27: Italian authorities say the death toll in an Italian earthquake has risen yet again as bodies continued to be recovered and now stands at 290.
The Civil Protection agency gave the updated figure late Saturday morning just ahead of a state funeral for some of the victims being attended by President Sergio Mattarella and Premier Matteo Renzi.
The worst hit town was Amatrice, which now has 230 confirmed deaths. It is there that the death toll has been rising.
Elsewhere, 11 were killed in Accumoli and 49 in Arquato del Tronto.
