Il Volo singer Gianluca Nobile
said Thursday he was "supposed to be at" the Abruzzo hotel swept
away by a quake-spurred avalanche with some 30 feared dead,
having planned "a few days of R&R there". Nobile, who lives in
Roseto Degli Abruzzi, was supposed to have been picked up by the
owner of the hotel at his home on Tuesday. He did not say why he
had change his mind. "I escaped the tragedy by a miracle," he
said. Nobile said he was "desperate for what happened and the
dead, the Rigopiano Hotel was a wonderful place and Roberto, the
architect owner, a dear friend of mine".
