Notes on this record
What emerges when the official register data are compared with the press sources collected below.
- An article from Il Resto del Carlino (2 April 2012) lists a body that surfaced on 12 July 1978 from the sea off Ancona, buried in the Tavernelle cemetery: the date and municipality match this record, but the article does not specify Monte Conero, so the match remains to be confirmed.

Ecco la lista dei cadaveri senza un nome
Probable but unconfirmed match. The municipality and exact date match (12 July 1978, body resurfaced from the sea); the article does not, however, specify Monte Conero or other details from the record, so a margin of doubt remains.
