Italy lowers quake death toll back to 290
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleItalian authorities are revising the death toll in the country’s earthquake down by one, to 290 people killed.
Officials with the Civil Protection agency gave the 290 figure during a televised news conference Sunday.
The agency, which combines the figures it receives from different provinces affected by the quake, said the number is lower than the previous toll of 291 dead due to a correction in the numbers from the province of Rieti, where most of the victims died.
