Overview
- Paolo Rossi, the downstairs neighbor, is seeking more than €200,000 in damages, alleging renovations in Eros Ramazzotti’s newly bought CityLife apartment caused a ceiling collapse in 2024.
- Municipal police and firefighters intervened after the December 4, 2024 incident, with a police report noting the removal of the upstairs floor could be the cause and marking the area as unsafe.
- Ramazzotti’s lawyer contests the neighbor’s expert reports as unilateral and generic and attributes the collapse to presumed hidden defects in the building.
- Judge Carlo Di Cataldo scheduled a second conciliation for January 19 and set deadlines for the court expert: a preliminary report by February 9, parties’ observations by March 11, and a final report by April 10.
- Manager Gaetano Puglisi called published accounts incomplete, said Ramazzotti’s is the only apartment currently unusable, and emphasized that the court expert will determine responsibility and any compensation.
