Partial collapse of medieval tower in Rome leaves worker trapped
The Guardian
|November 04, 2025
Rescue workers are trying to rescue a man from a medieval tower in central Rome that partially collapsed twice during renovations, trapping him on an upper floor and injuring another man.
The Torre dei Conti, close to the Roman Forum, suffered an initial collapse just after 11.30am yesterday, with falling debris reportedly hitting a 64-year-old worker. He was taken to San Giovanni hospital in a critical condition. Francesco Rocca, Lazio's regional president, said the worker's injuries were not life-threatening.
With hundreds of tourists and passersby looking on, firefighters then rescued three other workers from scaffolding on the 29-metre (95ft) tower. During the operation, at about 1pm, an internal section of the tower collapsed, leaving one worker trapped on an upper floor.
