A three-story building where renovation work was underway collapsed in Milan. The building, in via Amatore Sciesa, was uninhabited because it was declared uninhabitable.
However, the firefighters dug through the rubble to rule out the presence of people.
The alarm went off just before midnight. The building, a two-storey building, is located in a prestigious area near the center and the Palazzo di Giustizia of Milan. Police and 118 ambulances were also on site.
The building has collapsed on itself, fortunately it is not facing the street but inside a building that has not been necessary to evacuate. The work had started a couple of weeks ago.
«First I heard something like a water leak and looking out I saw dust in the internal courtyard. After ten minutes I heard a falling sound, like when emptying glass in the trash. After thirty seconds, the very loud roar of the collapse. I got scared": this is the story of Fabrizio, who lives in an apartment overlooking the courtyard where the collapse occurred.
