The small plane that had been missing for over a month , since January 28 to be precise, was found during a flight over the Modenese Apennines.

The aircraft was identified in a gully in the Pievepelago area. The lifeless body of the pilot was found inside: it is Ivano Montanari, a 61-year-old from Reggio Emilia , who had left the Campovolo of the Emilian city that day.

After the disappearance, the search had continued for a long time, in vain, with an important deployment of forces but had been complicated by the snowfall in the area.

The area has been cordoned off and recovery operations will begin in the next few hours.

Carabinieri, mountain rescue and firefighters in action.
