 The search continued into the night, but still without success, for the last worker missing following the collapse on the construction site in via Mariti in Florence.

The firefighters operate with dozens of personnel and USAR (Urban search and rescue) teams specialized in the search and rescue of those missing among the rubble.

At the same time, the night operations made the construction site safe, where the pile of large prefabricated concrete beams that fell during the collapse on February 16th is at risk.

The construction site is under seizure. 

Furthermore, according to what we learn, during the night the rescuers also operated on an exact point in the area of ​​the collapse, a point where the body of the missing worker could have been positioned but then this targeted search gave no results, it was tested negative.

The search for the missing person takes place at the same time as the cautious removal of collapsed beams and blocks.

Fillea-Cgil, protections for public workers should be extended to the private sector

 "I challenge Prime Minister Meloni to make a decree that brings the protections of articles 41 and 119 of the Public Procurement Code also to private construction sites above 500 thousand euros. And I invite all parties to vote for it. A few lines are enough."

Alessandro Genovesi, head of Fillea, the CGIL construction workers, explains this in an interview with Repubblica after the deaths at work in Florence.


The Code is Salvini's.

"Of course - he continues -. There are rules there to protect employment and other harmful ones such as unlimited subcontracting".

However, that Code does not apply to the Florence construction site.

"This is why I say: let's do the opposite of what Salvini did when he brought the jungle and the Far West of subcontracting from the private to the public," he adds. "Let's extend the good things in the Code to the private sector."


Genovesi gives examples such as "the obligation to apply the construction contract, avoiding using contracts that cost less and with fewer protections. The prohibition on reducing labor and safety costs. And the economic and regulatory equality between contract workers and subcontracting".

In Florence if things had been like this "we would have known immediately how many companies there were and how many workers. Esselunga was prevented from having reductions in manpower and safety - he concludes -. The obligation of training and territorial safety representatives. We would not have had teams of piece workers and individual firms".
