A mass has been said ahead of the funerals of 38 people who died in a coach crash in Italy.
Relatives and friends of the victims gathered at an indoor sports arena in Pozzuoli, about 40 miles from Naples, to mourn their lost loved ones.
The coffins were laid out in rows at the Monterusciello Palasport as hundreds of people attended.
Italy's Prime Minister Enrico Letta also joined the mourners.
"I'm very disturbed by what happened. Nothing like this has ever happened in Pozzuoli and I'm very, very upset," said one man, who gave only his first name Salvatore.
Firefighters inspect the bus after the crash Bruno Iuvane lost one of his closest friends in the crash.
"She found herself aboard this death bus by pure coincidence, and probably we'll never find out who is to blame," he said.
At least 10 people, including five children, are still in hospital.
The tragedy happened when the bus lost control after smashing into several cars that were slowed by heavy traffic and plunged off a motorway into a ravine on Sunday night.
The travellers were returning from a weekend trip to a religious site The crash occurred near the small town of Montefiore Irpino about 40 miles from Naples - most of those killed were returning home to towns and villages in the Naples area.
Officials say they do not yet know why the bus driver lost control of the vehicle, but prosecutors are investigating technical problems and have ordered a post-mortem on the driver.
Relatives gathered outside the gym where the bodies were taken Another possibility that seems to be emerging is that he tried everything to keep control of the vehicle after a tyre had blown, according to Corriere della Sera, Italy's largest newspaper.
It quotes the uncle of a passenger who survived the crash.
"My niece told me that the left tyre had blown," Vincenzo Rusciano said.
"The driver tried in every way to keep control of the vehicle but he couldn't, and the bus swerved, plunging in the ravine," he said after visiting his niece in hospital.
Avellino Prosecutor Rosario Cantelmo said some people have been placed under formal investigation, but did not say who or how many while La Repubblica newspaper said the prosecutor is looking into possible manslaughter charges.
