Overview
- Carabinieri will question the heads of Edilerica and Picalarga and the ten crew members present to reconstruct the three-stage collapse and verify worksite safety after the death of worker Octav Stroici.
- Investigators report no suspects yet and plan another external inspection today, while entry to the seized monument remains too dangerous due to persistent instability.
- Drone-based 3D diagnostics by the Giorgio Croci studio and Azimut show a deep internal void with four floors pulverized and stairways largely destroyed, guiding plans for potential stabilization.
- Technical reports from 2023 and a May 30, 2025 assessment flagged extensive fissures and floors rated to bear at most 400 kilograms, and officials had deemed the restoration among the most critical under the PNRR-funded Caput Mundi program.
- Residents and shopkeepers in the cordoned-off area report severe mobility and economic strain, as some experts warn that only immediate shoring or a programmed demolition can mitigate ongoing collapse risk.
