Fatal accident at the Colosseum: 22-year-old worker Andrea Moretti dies

His name was Andrea Moretti, he was 22 years old and specialized in rope work at high altitude, the worker who died this night inside the Flavian Amphitheatre. The Colosseum Archaeological Park made it known with the Mic, giving the news of the accident. As a sign of mourning, the Park has decided to close to the public today the sector of the second tier where the accident occurred, an area however not subject to seizure by the judiciary, which is currently busy determining the dynamics of the incident.

Andrea Moretti was originally from the Tottea hamlet of the municipality of Crognaleto, in the province of Teramo. A rock climbing worker, he was specialized and very expert despite his 22 years of age. A highly sought after and difficult qualification to find for construction sites, in which many young and not so young people from the Teramo mountains have tried their hand at over the years. Andrea had followed in his father's footsteps, who had also been a worker for many years and was forced to leave his job about thirty years ago due to an injury that left him disabled. The mayor of Crognaleto, Orlando Persia, a personal friend of Andrea, was very shaken by the tragedy, describing him as a "sunny boy, a lover of life, of his land, tied to friendships and horses, his passion". The mayor of the Abruzzo municipality has announced that he will proclaim citizen mourning on the day of the funeral.
