ROME – All seven defendants have been acquitted in the August 2016 collapse of a bell tower in the quake-hit Lazio village of Accumoli that killed a family of four.
The earthquake struck the town on
Aug. 24, 201,6 and the bell tower’s collapse killed the Tucci family, consisting of a man, a
woman and their two small children.
Local officials were put on trial on charges
of possible negligence and manslaughter. The earthquake hit a series of towns on
the borders between Lazio, Umbria, Marche and Abruzzo, causing widespread devastation and killing almost 300 people, most of them in the Lazio town of Amatrice.

Fiat's Lingotto roof track
to be huge hanging garden
ANSA
ROME – The famous test track on the roof of Turin's Lingotto building, the home of a former Fiat factory, is going to be turned in Europe's biggest hanging garden.
The project to create the rooftop garden, La Pista 500, will feature over 28,000 plants, Olivier Francois, the CEO of the Fiat & Abarth brands and Stellantis chief marketing officer, announced, joined by architect and urban planner Stefano Boeri.
LOCAL
Among other things, Boeri created Milan's iconic “Bosco Verticale” (Vertical Forest), a pair of residential towers covered in trees and plants.
While Stellantis is seeking to improve the environmental sustainability of transport, with the introduction of electric vehicles, such as its electric Fiat 500 model, this project aims to show that it is also possible to increase green space in urban areas and boost the absorption of carbon dioxide.
