Rome: overnight accident at the Colosseum; one worker killed

Milan, 23 Sept. (LaPresse) – Last night, an accident at work occurred inside the Colosseum in which a worker, Andrea Moretti, who specialised in rope access work at height, died. As a mark of mourning, the PArCo has decided to close the second tier – where the accident took place – to the public for the remainder of the day; however, this area has not been sealed off by the judicial authorities, who are currently working to establish the circumstances of the incident. This has been announced by the Colosseum Archaeological Park.
