Medieval Tower Collapse in Rome

A medieval tower in central Rome, the Torre dei Conti, has partially collapsed during renovation work, resulting in critical injuries and trapping a worker.

The Torre dei Conti was built in the 13th century by Pope Innocent III as a residence for his family.

Firefighter spokesman Luca Cari confirmed that the one remaining worker remained trapped hours after the initial collapse.

Hundreds of tourists witnessed the rescue attempt, which was complicated by another partial collapse of the structure.
