(ANSA) - Venice, October 1 - A fire broke out on Monday at Venice's La Fenice theatre.
    The flames were quickly put out but two technicians suffered smoke inhalation. They are not in a serious condition, sources said.
    The opera house had to be rebuilt after being destroyed by a fire started by arsonists in 1996.

He told ANSA that the fire was caused by a problem with the secondary power system, which kicks in if there is a black-out.
