The
steamer Livietta was laid down in Genoa and launched in
1899 for an Italian company in La Spezia. She was sold in
1925 and renamed Berta, and then again in 1939 when she
received her last name as Entella. She was requisitioned
by Regia Marine in second world as a military transport. Under
a journey from Cagliari to La Maddelena in a convoy with
the two transports, the
Isonzo and Loredan,
she was attacked outside Sardinia by the British
submarine HMS Safari 10.April 1943. She was hit by a
torpedo but managed to stay afloat, and was beached near
Torre Finocchia. The next day HMS Safari returned and
sealed her fate with another two torpedoes. The wreck is
today totally flattened out and wreck debris and parts
of her rest on a depth of approx 10 to 20 meters
outside Torre Delle Stelle on Sardinia. Also see

and Isonzo
