The move follows a similar ban on another rescue ship on Tuesday as part of a closed ports policy championed by Salvini to stem illegal immigration from North Africa. The Mare Jonio, operated by Italian charity Mediterranea Saving Humans, picked up the migrants in a rubber dinghy which was drifting and was already beginning to deflate.
Italy has long complained it has not been getting enough support from Europe in dealing with the migration issue and last year Salvini shut ports to rescue ships run by aid groups.
