capri: Nearly 30 people were injured Friday when a ferry sailing from the Mediterranean island of Capri to the Italian mainland capsized, rescue officials said. The exact sequence of events was initially unclear. According to the report of Xinhua news agency, the high-speed Isola di Procida collided with the dock as soon as it reached the city of Naples. The rescue service said that despite the number of people injured, no one was seriously injured in the incident. The meeting of foreign ministers of the Group of Seven (G7) economically strong democracies is going on in Capri in the Gulf of Naples from Wednesday.
Most of the participants were still on the island on Friday. Capri is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy. The island, which has fewer than 15,000 permanent residents, attracts thousands of visitors every day during the high season. The ferry crossing from the mainland takes about an hour.
