Shock and drama unfold, as worker remains trapped under the collapsed tower.
A medieval tower in the heart of Italy’s capital Rome, near the world-famous Coliseum ruins, have partially collapsed today (3), during renovation work in the structure.
One work was critically injured, while another is trapped under the rubble, prompting a dramatic rescue operation.
Rome’s Torre dei Conti was built in the 13th century by Pope Innocent III as a residence for his family.
It was previously damaged in a 1349 earthquake and suffered subsequent collapses in the 17th century.
