Italy Condemns Russia's Comments on Medieval Tower Collapse
Italian officials have reacted with outrage after a Russian foreign ministry spokesperson linked the partial collapse of a medieval tower in central Rome to Italy's support for Ukraine.
The Torre dei Conti, a 29m-tall fortified residence built near the Colosseum in the 13th century, partially collapsed on Monday, causing the death of a Romanian worker.
Italy's support for Ukraine has drained funds needed to preserve its cultural heritage.
Maria Zakharova, a Russian foreign ministry spokesperson, sparked backlash with her comments. Italy condemns such "shameful" comments.
