Seems it is a very lightly populated area, and Rai are reporting only the one house which has been involved. They have rescued the three year old from the rubble - okay - so it is the other five members of the family, and possibly two firemen who could still be in trouble (seems that this landslip hasn't entirely run its course).
This occurred a little after 9am, in a locality called Pilastri, between Ischia and Barano. So far they know that one entire family is buried under the landslide (a whole hillside crumbled), and there are helicopters there.
