A portion of the wall of the House of the Bull Hunt in Pompeii collapsed

A five-foot portion of wall collapsed in the so-called House of the Bull Hunt in Pompeii: the building is located in Regio VI and features decoration depicting bulls, after which the house is named.

Superintendent Massimo Osanna specified that the detachment of the portion of the wall was caused by the unpredictable subsidence of a cistern underneath, which resulted in the rotation of the wall structure. However, there was no damage to the archaeological structure as the wall is intact and can be relocated.

The collapse may have been due to bad weather in recent days.
