Recently, a clifftop cemetery near the Italian city of Genoa collapsed following a landslide on the afternoon of February 22, causing more than 200 coffins to fall into the sea and destroying two chapels in the cemetery.
Photos taken at the scene show that most of the cliff was eroded, many coffins strewn about and mixed with rocks and dirt at a depth of almost 50m.
According to Giacomo Giampedrone, the regional civil protection expert, an estimated 200 coffins were thrown, but only 10. Rescue efforts continue, but are completely dependent on the state of the sea in the coming days.

It is known that two days before the incident, the maintenance that was being carried out in the area of the coast suddenly stopped when the workers noticed cracks in the rock. At that time, authorities decided to close the cemetery out of concerns about possible risks.
After this incident, a team of geologists used drones to better understand the damage and determine if there is a risk of another landslide.
