A medieval tower in central Rome that was under renovation partially collapsed today, with one worker believed to be trapped alive under rubble.

Part of the Torre dei Conti collapsed just after 11:30 am (10:30 Irish time), sending rubble into the street and a thick white cloud of dust into the air.

The tower is in a busy area, just off the Imperial Forum and close to the Colosseum, Italy’s top tourist site.
