(ANSA) - VENICE, AUGUST 19 - The checks on the bell tower of San Marco in Venice are carried out with a drone provided to the Fire Brigade, after yesterday's storm.
In the square this morning a team from the Sapr Nucleus (remote piloting aircraft systems) operates, which with the aircraft equipped with a camera returns the situation of the monument in real time.
Excluding static problems at the bell tower, among the hypotheses there is that one of the walls may have been hit by one of the objects - chairs, tables, furnishings - raised by the strong wind, and that some splinters of brick may have fallen to the ground.
Last night, the Patriarchate of Venice, after the technical checks carried out by the Procuratoria di San Marco, had stopped the fall of fragments from the bell tower as a result of the meteorological events.
