22-year-old worker dies after fall at Rome's Colosseum, Meloni calls death 'unacceptable'
Italy's prime minister has urged a full investigation into the fatal fall at the ancient landmark.
A 22-year-old worker has died after falling at Rome's Colosseum, according to Anadolu Agency.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni described the death as "unacceptable" and called for a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fall.
Investigation urged
The report does not specify the exact circumstances of the fall, the nature of the work being carried out at the time, or the employer responsible for the site at the moment of the incident.
Fatal workplace accidents at cultural and historical sites in Italy have periodically drawn public attention to safety standards for workers involved in maintenance, restoration or construction projects at such locations.
Meloni's call for a full investigation suggests authorities are expected to examine safety protocols and accountability related to the incident.
Further details on the identity of the worker, the company involved, or the findings of any investigation were not included in the material available.
