Rome, March 23 (Adnkronos) – A three-story building exploded in Rome, around 8.30:XNUMX, in via Vitellia at the intersection with via Pio Foà in the Gianicolense area, probably due to a gas leak. (- ). A man, of foreign origin, was pulled alive from the rubble. Operations are currently underway to verify the presence of any other people.

"We were still in bed, when we heard a crazy bang, my mother got scared and ran to the terrace. We immediately understood that it wasn't a car crash or something like that, but that it was an explosion. There was smoke rising and shortly after they closed the road, and the police, emergency services etc. started arriving, at that point we could only hear noises and sirens". This is the hot testimony - entrusted to Adnkronos - of Giovanna, a resident of the area.

"It must have been 8.50:XNUMX, I was vacuuming when I heard a dull roar. It sounded like a bomb. The windows shook," is how Liliana, a resident of Via Vitellia, told Adnkronos.
