ROME (Reuters) – At least 29 people were injured in Italy on Friday when a ferry carrying people from the island of Capri, currently hosting a Group of Seven foreign ministers meeting, collided with a quay in Naples.

Local health authorities said the injured passengers had been taken to local hospitals. Most had only slight injuries, while one was in a more serious condition.
