The stones that hit a car passing along Corso Marconi on June 2nd could be the consequence of yet another collapse in one of the buildings on the central city street. The investigations of the Viale della Vittoria Police seem to be going in this direction, who intervened immediately on the spot after the call from the family, mother, father and 14-month-old girl, who was on board the car on which two large stones fell at the same time.
The stones hit the car right at the intersection of the glass and the door pillar. Matters of millimeters and the glass would have ended up in a thousand pieces, with the stones and glass ending up inside the car, hitting mother and daughter. According to the Viale della Vittoria agents, there are no elements to advance any certain hypothesis. Even if the types of stones that rained down on the car raise doubts, the idea seems to be one that leads to the detachment of a portion of the building. If this were the case, the Police will necessarily have to request the intervention of the Fire Brigade, in order to find out at what exact point the cornice or a piece of the building has detached, and safety and maintenance interventions will be necessary on the building in question. . Automatically, therefore, the possibility that it was a launch by some ill-intentioned person, a “stunt” between friends or even the gesture of some psychiatric patient goes towards exclusion. The lead followed by the Police is in line with the events that have occurred on Corso Marconi over the last few years. It was June 16th when some marble slabs covering the columns of the porticoes on the mountain side collapsed. The slabs fell between the roadway and the pavement under the porticoes, to the general fright of those who were at a table in a bar or passing by, and only chance prevented the collapse from turning into a tragedy. Around September 1st, a further detachment of plaster occurred from a building which hit the windscreen of a parked car, again without causing injuries. An area, therefore, which regardless of this latest news story, which is decidedly serious and which like the others could have had dramatic consequences, must be paid attention to with general safety measures, considering that it is an important crossroads for citizens and tourists .
