Around 10 people extracted from the rubble at noted Terracina restaurant.
A 31-year-old woman died after the roof of a Michelin-starred restaurant in the Italian seaside town of Terracina to the south of Rome collapsed on Monday night.
The woman, a sommelier identified as Mara Severin, was working in the Essenza restaurant when the roof caved in suddenly at around 22.00 on Monday.
Around 10 customers and staff were injured in the tragic incident, three of them critically, all of whom were taken to hospital after being extracted from the rubble by firefighters.
Terracina mayor Francesco Giannnetti paid tribute to Severin, who was rescued alive but died a short time later, as a “splendid, radiant young woman who loved her work”.
Local prosecutors have impounded the site and launched an investigation into the tragedy.
