While descending to Milan-Linate Airport in marginal weather conditions, the pilot encountered engine problems and decided to reduce his altitude to attempt an emergency landing. In poor visibility due to fog, the twin engine aircraft struck the ground and crashed in a field located in Sant’Angelo Lodigiano, about 23 km southeast from Linate Airport. Both occupants, the Italian Industrialist Antonio Pesce (55) and his son Adriano (25) were killed.
