Workers injured in partial Collapse of Medieval Tower near Rome's Colosseum
A worker was taken to hospital with serious injuries and another was trapped under rubble following the partial collapse on Monday [today] of a medieval tower under renovation in central Rome, near the Colosseum.

"We are trying to get him out alive but the situation is complex because of the risk of further collapses,"
national fire department spokesman Luca Cari told Reuters about ongoing rescue efforts. Regional President Francesco Rocca, speaking to Italian news agencies, said the worker in hospital was not in a life-threatening condition, while two more workers suffered minor injuries and declined hospital treatment.
The 29-metre (95 ft) Torre dei Conti stands near one of the Eternal City's tourist hotspots. It is located halfway along the Via dei Fori Imperiali, the broad avenue that leads from central Piazza Venezia to the Colosseum. It suffered at least two collapses, according to videos posted on social media and Reuters footage. On both occasions, clouds of dust came billowing out of the windows, along with the sound of collapsing masonry.

Wow. How old was it?
Torre dei Conti was built in 1238 by Richard Conti, brother of Pope Innocent III.
