Italy is mourning the seven confirmed victims of the Marmolada glacier collapse and the many more feared dead, Premier Mario Draghi said at the site Monday.
"Today Italy mourns these victims and all the Italians are brought together in affection," he said.
Visibly emotional, he said "this is a drama that certainly has unforeseen elements, but certainly also depends on the deterioraton of the environment and the climate situation.
"The government must reflect on what has happened and take measures so that what happened has a low probability of happening (again) and, indeed, will be averted.
"Now we must take measures so that what happened on the Marmolas does not happen again in Italy," he said at the Dolomites resort town of Canazei.
