Italy: Hundreds of heritage sites at risk amid funding shortages

Nov 9, 2025

Heritage preservation groups in Italy are raising the alarm — nearly 450 historic sites are reportedly at risk due to age and insufficient maintenance funding. Just days ago, a 13th-century tower collapsed in central Rome, killing one person and seriously injuring three others. The tragedy has renewed calls for support from the private sector and the European Union. This report from our sister channel France 2 is narrated by Nick Rushworth.
