Three others rescued at the Torre dei Conti, which was undergoing restoration works
A medieval tower in central Rome has partly collapsed twice during renovations, trapping one worker on an upper floor and injuring another.
Falling debris from the initial collapse of the Torre dei Conti, close to the Roman Forum ruins, just after 11.30am (1030 GMT) hit a 64-year-old worker, the Ansa news agency reported. 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.
