In Genoa, a containment wall collapse in the Castelletto district has resulted in property damage, but fortunately, no injuries have been reported. Firefighters swiftly responded to the incident in the early afternoon, as two parked cars and a moped were dragged down by the collapsing wall, subsequently colliding with a nearby building and causing debris to scatter on the ground.

Although no individuals were involved or harmed in the incident, as a precautionary measure, the evacuation of six homes is currently underway. Firefighting teams are diligently working at the scene to assess the situation and ensure the safety of the affected area.

The collapse of the retaining wall serves as a reminder of the importance of regular maintenance and inspection of infrastructure to prevent such incidents.
