Little hope : L'avion disparu toujours introuvable | La Provence
The aircraft (1 POB) took off yesterday Friday mid-afternoon from Cannes to Salerno (SE of Naples). Last radar return about 50 km south of Cannes.

Were there any radio comms or a 7700 squawk?

30nm S of Cannes, at any half sensible altitude, VHF would have worked fine.
