Some signs had already been there a few days ago, a broken glass in a house in the via Paolina Caproni Maini area, but the owner had thought of a stone chip splashed from the road by the passing of a car; The other night the alarm went off: several stones fell from the castle bastion that, touching the asphalt, almost exploded. Therefore, the request for intervention to the Arco firefighters who arrived immediately, made the area safe by blocking the road and concluded the intervention around 11 pm.
It all happened suddenly around 8pm on Tuesday, when a dozen stones fell at high speed from the top: in particular, a stone about eight centimeters fell on the asphalt creating a hole 5 centimeters deep. “It is not so much because of the size of the stones, explains firefighter commander Stefano Bonamico, but because of the impact force: it turned out well because, also due to the Coronavirus, there was hardly anyone around, otherwise it could have been very dangerous indeed.
The stones have fallen from a considerable height, one hundred meters, and it is precisely this that gives them an energy that makes them look like a bullet. “The larger stones, the commander continues, are contrasted with the present tome wall just below, but these small pebbles bounce off the cliff wall of the castle, reach the path below and can be a big problem: as long as they don’t you can throw the top wall you can’t be sure. “” A stone like Tuesday night, adds Commissioner Tomaso Ricci, called at the scene of the accident, would have broken the roof of a car. “
On Tuesday night, the 200-meter stretch from the parking lot to the schools was already closed to traffic.
“I made a closing order until the area is secured, Ricci continues, and we are already looking for a company that can intervene with the utmost urgency: the road must be reopened as soon as possible because now Prabi is isolated and can only be reached from Ceniga» .
Yesterday at 8 o’clock in the morning there was a reconnaissance flight of the helicopter with on board of Councilor Ricci and the geologists of the province Ernesto Santuliana and Paola Visintainer to verify the state of the Arco fortress, in which no interventions had been carried out in the last thirty years.
“Just below Torre Righeira, says Ricci, there are a large number of loose stones, quite small, but ready to fall: the risk is that if they bounce off the ledges they are” projected “outside and fall on the city. collecting them are now bloated and must be monitored. It will take between 7 and 10 days to clear everything and an expense of 30 to 40 thousand euros. “
