"To all the people who write to me with concern: I have not been living at "43 Via Vitellia" for a few days. Thank you for your concern. I hope there are no deaths and that the injured recover quickly. How heartbreaking to see a place where I loved to live in ruins."

Thus, with a famous Italian writer Roberto Saviano, he wanted to reassure friends and acquaintances.

The writer revealed that until a few weeks ago he lived in the very building that collapsed this morning after an explosion. Apparently, the tenants had then decided to convert it into an apartment for tourists and short-term rentals.

The building in the Monteverde area is thought to have exploded due to a gas leak, although investigations are still ongoing.

A Scottish tourist staying at the B&B was pulled from the rubble alive but in serious condition. He was rushed to Sant'Eugenio Hospital, where he was admitted to the emergency room after suffering burns to 70% of his body and several injuries. His prognosis is guarded. According to initial investigations, the gas leak may have come from a cylinder and not from the distribution line.
