Floor collapses in Rome: contractors and customers pulled from the rubble unharmed

A partial collapse occurred in a building under renovation in Rome's center, specifically on Via Cola di Rienzo 274, between ground floor and first floor. Four people were rescued from the debris by firefighters, including two employees and two customers, a father and daughter. The incident happened at 10:30 AM on Monday. Witnesses described hearing a loud noise like an explosion followed by darkness and loss of power. The victims were fortunate as they had moved just before the collapse, avoiding the affected area. Firefighters and specialized teams, including canine and USAR units, conducted search operations to ensure no other individuals were trapped. Investigations into the cause of the collapse are ongoing, with authorities considering the possibility that materials stored during renovations could have overloaded the floors. Work on the site began approximately two weeks ago, while the store had been renovated two years prior.
