Firefighters inspect the bus after the crashBruno Iuvane lost one of his closest friends in the crash.
"She found herself aboard this death bus by pure coincidence, and probably we'll never find out who is to blame," he said.
At least 10 people, including five children, are still in hospital.
The tragedy happened when the bus lost control after smashing into several cars that were slowed by heavy traffic and plunged off a motorway into a ravine on Sunday night.
The travellers were returning from a weekend trip to a religious siteThe crash occurred near the small town of Montefiore Irpino about 40 miles from Naples - most of those killed were returning home to towns and villages in the Naples area.
Officials say they do not yet know why the bus driver lost control of the vehicle, but prosecutors are investigating technical problems and have ordered a post-mortem on the driver.
Relatives gathered outside the gym where the bodies were takenAnother possibility that seems to be emerging is that he tried everything to keep control of the vehicle after a tyre had blown, according to Corriere della Sera, Italy's largest newspaper.
It quotes the uncle of a passenger who survived the crash.
"My niece told me that the left tyre had blown," Vincenzo Rusciano said.
"The driver tried in every way to keep control of the vehicle but he couldn't, and the bus swerved, plunging in the ravine," he said after visiting his niece in hospital.
