Italy: Worker dies in Rome tower collapse

A tragic incident occurred in Rome when a construction worker lost his life due to the partial collapse of the historic Torre dei Contini during restoration efforts. While three of his colleagues managed to escape, the situation was perilous enough that a second collapse nearly affected firefighters on the scene. This event has prompted prosecutors to initiate an investigation, leading to a halt in further restoration work. This matter is significant as it raises concerns about safety standards in construction, especially in the context of preserving historical sites.
