Rome's Colosseum Closes for a Day After Worker Dies in Fall
Rome's Colosseum was closed to the public on Wednesday to mourn Andrea Moretti, a 22-year-old worker who died after falling while installing cabling for an illumination project. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed shock and called the death unacceptable, urging a swift investigation. Authorities and union representatives are examining the circumstances. Thousands of visitors had entered before the closure, which was implemented after early tours concluded, marking a rare pause at Italy's most-visited monument.
