A 52-year-old Spanish tourist
was killed Thursday after being struck by an "architectural
element" that fell off the top of a nave in Florence's Santa
Croce Basilica, sources said.
A fairly large piece of a capital came crashing down from 20
metres up and hit the man on the head, they said.
Medical teams rushed to the spot but were unable to revive
the man, who was visiting the church with his wife.
Santa Croce is one of the Tuscan capital's best-known
churches.
