Rome's Arch of Constantine Damaged by Severe Lightning Storm

Fragments of the ancient structure were recovered and secured after the unexpected storm caused significant damage.

The Arch of Constantine was struck by lightning during a violent storm, causing parts of the structure to break off.
The storm brought heavy rain and high winds, leading to flooding and falling trees across Rome.
Technicians promptly gathered and secured all fallen fragments from the arch for assessment and repair.
The arch was already undergoing maintenance, which will now include additional repair work due to the storm damage.
Experts link the increase in extreme weather events, including this storm, to climate change.
