Armani And Others Flee Sicilian Island Fire Business News

Fashion designer Giorgio Armani and dozens of others were forced to flee their country villas overnight as firefighters worked to put out the remains of two fires on the Sicilian island of Pantelleria on Thursday. One photo showed flames appearing to engulf Armani’s villa, but his press office said they stopped short of the property. Armani and the guests were taken to a boat in the harbor during the night. The head of the area’s civil protection agency, Salvatore Cocina, said arson was suspected in two fires that forced about 30 people to seek shelter in boats or safer parts of the island. Firefighters used Canadair planes to battle the flames, along with ground crews to protect homes. Authorities said no structures appear to have been lost. The island’s mayor, Vincenzo Campo, told the ANSA news agency that two Canadairs were working to put out the last flames in difficult terrain and that the wind had dropped. “After the big scare yesterday afternoon and the night he spent at work, Pantelleria is back to normal,” Campo said. “Looks like the worst is over.” Local officials appealed for any information to help identify the cause of the fire, which started in two locations 400 meters (a quarter of a mile) apart. Located between Sicily and Tunisia, Pantelleria is a popular hiking and beach destination that includes ancient archaeological sites and natural landforms.
