Firefighters spent 11 hours on Monday trying to rescue a worker who became trapped in a medieval tower after it collapsed during renovations in Rome, Italy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Workers retrieved the man, identified as Octav Stroici, from the Torre dei Conti<\/a> \u2014 but he died of his injuries shortly afterward, The Associated Press (AP) reported.<\/p>\n

Rescuers began attempting to use a first-floor window near where the man was positioned, but then had to retreat due to a cloud of debris and fears that the structure would further collapse.<\/p>\n

Two ladders were also used in a failed attempt to send up a drone to help.<\/p>\n

A crane with rescuers<\/a> was sent up with large tubes to help clear rubble out of the second-floor window.<\/p>\n

Stoici was pulled out of the building onto a telescopic aerial ladder, then was put into an ambulance.<\/p>\n

“The operation lasted a long time because every time a part of the body was freed, there was additional rubble that covered it,” said Lamberto Giannini, prefect of Rome, according to AP.<\/p>\n

Roberto Gualtieri, Rome’s mayor, reportedly said workers were working very cautiously to avoid further collapses.<\/p>\n

Three workers were rescued without injury after the collapse, with another person hospitalized and in critical condition. No firefighters were hurt during the rescue.<\/p>\n

Over 50 million visitors stayed overnight in Rome in 2024, according to the city’s official tourism site.<\/p>\n

The 13th-century tower<\/a> was the residence of Pope Innocent III and his family. It has been closed since 2007.<\/p>\n

Workers were restoring the Torre dei Conti and planning a new museum<\/a> in a nearly $8 million renovation project.<\/p>\n

The tower survived an earthquake in 1349. It collapsed during the 17th century, according to AP.<\/p>\n

“I express deep sorrow and condolences, on behalf of myself and the government. \u2026 We are close to his family and colleagues at this time of unspeakable suffering,” said Italy\u2019s Premier Giorgia Meloni<\/a> in a statement.<\/p>\n
