The body, which has not yet been identified, was found buried beneath snow at about 2,600 metres above sea level in the area of the Conca pass in the Adamello nature park.
Joe Stone, a university friend of Ziriat, described how alarm bells were raised when the pair failed to check in for their flight home, despite being experienced hikers.
Ziriat's girlfriend and friends are in Italy coordinating the search, and Stone highlighted a positive public response, noting that local authorities have been fantastic.
