The migrants were rescued by the firefighters of the Provincial Command of Crotone, who also secured the vessel.
The personnel of the Coast Guard, the State Police, the Financial Police and the Red Cross are also on site.
Just yesterday, in Siderno, in Locride, another 110 migrants arrived, also on a sailing boat. Two people, part of the group that was on board the boat, were found lifeless.
