Breaking News: Worker Rescued from Collapsing Medieval Tower in Rome A Romanian worker has been pulled to safety from a partially collapsed medieval tower in the heart of Rome, nearly 12 hours after the incident. The worker was rescued at 23:00 local time (22:00 GMT) and taken to hospital. The collapse occurred at the Torre dei Conti, a tower on the edge of the Roman Forum and close to the Colosseum, where conservation work was underway. The tower has been closed to the public for many years. Rome mayor Roberto Gualtieri expressed hope that the rescued worker will recover, while prefect Lamberto Giannini described the rescue mission as "very complex." Another worker, also a Romanian citizen, remains trapped in the rubble, along with two others who were pulled to safety earlier. One of the rescued workers is in critical condition, according to the Romanian foreign ministry. The rescue efforts have been ongoing since the collapse, with the latest update coming at 23:00 local time. This is a developing story, with further updates expected as more information becomes available.
