Around 11 p.m. last Saturday, a portion of the walls of the Castle of Fabro, in the province of Terni, collapsed due to heavy rains in the area. Fortunately, there were no injuries or people involved. Some homes located nearby were temporarily without electricity as a result of the collapse. Firefighters were promptly on the scene, securing the affected area, working together with the City’s staff to carry out the necessary technical verifications of competence.
“In Fabro,” the Region of Umbria had communicated in a note yesterday, “there was a collapse of a portion of the walls of the Castle, an area already the subject of previous interventions; fortunately, the monitoring system already funded and arranged by the Region has avoided the involvement of people and vehicles, although the debris has affected the main road system. The mayor activated volunteers and requested the intervention of the fire brigade, while a technical inspection with experts from the Region took place in the morning.”
“Fortunately, thanks to the installation of electronic monitoring that took place about three months ago, we were able to intervene in time to clear the area and avoid damage to property and people. In addition, the previous safety intervention, carried out by the municipality, partially demolishing an overlying (unsafe) private building, made it possible to reduce the size of the collapse, preserving without damage the houses below,” the municipality of Fabro wrote in a post on its Facebook page yesterday. "A big thank you goes to all the technicians and emergency services for their prompt response that allowed an immediate initial securing of the area and the restoration of electricity to the portion of the historic center that had been without it.
As early as this morning, regional and Civil Defense technicians will be on site to conduct inspections and assess next steps. President of the Region Stefania Proietti immediately and personally, sent the mayor her sympathy. In all likelihood today there will be a further intervention by the Fire Department to secure the area regarding the portions of masonry and metal structures still remaining unsafe."
