Overview
- Two women aged 22 and 25 from the province of Rome, one Italian and one Romanian, were struck by fragments that detached from a cornice.
- The injured were treated for head wounds and admitted to Ospedale dei Pellegrini under the yellow triage code, with a precautionary CT planned for the 22-year-old.
- Emergency teams from 118, including an ambulance and a motorcycle unit, provided on-site care before transport.
- Firefighters secured the cornice as state and municipal police cordoned the area and managed crowds during the Santo Stefano afternoon rush.
- The episode rekindled concern over building maintenance, with references to a June incident on the same street and the 2014 fatal detachment at Galleria Umberto prompting political calls for enforcement.
