Briton drowns in Italian coastal town of Sperlonga

The family of a British man who drowned while swimming on holiday are believed to have been staying in Rome - about 100km (62 miles) from the seaside town of Sperlonga, where he is thought to have died.

They went to the beach after lunch but high winds meant the sea was particularly rough.
