Reports the death of a Romanian construction worker in Rome following the partial collapse of the medieval Torre dei Conti during restoration work. The worker was trapped beneath the rubble for around eleven hours before being rescued and later pronounced dead, while three other workers sustained injuries of varying severity.
The article highlights that fatal workplace accidents remain a persistent issue in Italy, prompting the Rome prosecutor’s office to open an investigation into the circumstances of the collapse. The Torre dei Conti, originally commissioned in the 13th century by a Pope, was undergoing EU-funded restoration intended to transform it into a museum after years of neglect.
Despite preliminary safety inspections that had deemed the site stable, the tower collapsed in two separate incidents, with the second occurring as firefighters were attempting to rescue the trapped worker, underscoring the dangers faced by laborers at historical renovation sites.
