Workers Injured By Debris

Three workers were injured in the incident. One was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, while the other two declined treatment after sustaining minor injuries. The information was released by the Italian agency Ansa.

Rescue Teams Acted Quickly

According to the spokesperson for the Fire Department, Luca Cari, teams worked to rescue a person who was trapped under the debris.

The area was cordoned off, and pedestrian traffic was halted to ensure safety as the risk of further collapses was not ruled out.

Monument Closed For Nearly Two Decades

Standing 29 meters tall, the Torre dei Conti is located on Via dei Fori Imperiali, the street that connects Piazza Venezia to the Colosseum.

The building has been closed since 2006, but was part of a four-year revitalization plan slated to be completed next year.

Symbol Of Papal Power

Erected in the early 13th century by Pope Innocent III, the tower was built to house his family and is considered one of the last symbols of medieval architecture still preserved in the heart of Rome.
