Man lives alone on Italian island for 32 yrs, dies 3 yrs after returning to urban life
Mauro Morandi, who lived alone on Italy's Budelli island for 32 years, has died aged 85 following poor health, three years after returning to civilisation. He stumbled upon Budelli, the island famous for its pink-sanded beach, in 1989 after his catamaran broke down. After living there for over three decades, he was evicted by the Italian authorities in 2021.
