(20 May 2012) Flowers were laid on Sunday outside the school where a bomb exploded in the Italian port town of Brindisi a day earlier, killing one and injuring several people.
A teenage girl was killed in the explosion and officials said several other teenagers were injured after the device went off near the Morvillo-Falcone vocational institute.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, and police were trying to determine who had planted the bomb.
The device went off a few minutes before 0800 local time (0600 GMT) on Saturday just as students milled outside, chatting and getting ready for class.
The victim was identified as 16-year-old Melissa Bassi, from the nearby town of Mesagne.
Four other young women who were taken to hospital with burns were reported on Sunday to be improving.
"Regarding the two girls treated in the burns department, they are still on the danger list, their heart-blood parameters are good so we are slightly optimistic," Doctor La Spada, from Brindisi hospital said.
"Regarding the other two girls treated in the plastic surgery department, their conditions are unchanged, but their heart-blood parameters are good as well," he added.
The school is named in honour of prosecutor Giovanni Falcone and his wife, Francesca Morvillo, a judge who was killed in a 1992 highway bombing in Sicily by the Cosa Nostra.
Italy has been marking the 20th anniversary of the attack on the Sicilian highway which killed the prosecutor and his wife, but it was unclear if there was an organised crime link to Saturday's explosion.
The bombing follows a spate of recent attacks against Italian officials and government or public buildings by a group of anarchists, including the shooting and wounding of an official from a nuclear engineering firm, which is part of a state-controlled company.
An anti-nuclear anarchist group which had previously targeted Italy's tax collection agency claimed responsibility for the shooting.
Authorities have said the Italian anarchists have worked in close contact with Greece-based anarchists.
Brindisi is a major point of departure for ferries between Italy and Greece, but there was no immediate indication from investigators of any Greek link.
The attacks and threats lodged against authorities prompted the government on Friday to assign bodyguards to 550 individuals, and deploy 16,000 law enforcement officers nationwide.
