RESCUE workers combing through the rubble of Italy's latest deadly quake say they have found the bodies of two workers in a collapsed factory, raising the death toll to at least 16.
The rescuers in the northern town of Mendolla told an Associated Press photographer at the scene that the two lifeless bodies have not been removed yet.
Earlier today, the body of another worker was found in the factory's wreckage and rescuers are still searching for a missing person.
Some 350 people were injured and thousands left homeless in Italy's second fatal quake in nine days in the agricultural and industrial area north of Bologna.
Rescuers pulled a woman alive from the rubble of her apartment building, 12 hours after a killer quake hit northern Italy.
Firefighters told Sky TG24 that the woman yelled out to rescuers as they were about to reach her today in the rubble of her kitchen.
She had gone into the building, which had been damaged by the region's May 20 quake, reportedly to retrieve some clothes, when the 5.8 magnitude temblor struck, collapsing the apartment building of several stories.
