Giant boulder smashed through buildings in Italy
A 300-year-old Italian farm owned by the Servite Order of the catholic cult is in ruins after a giant boulder dislodged in a rockfall
rolled through the property.
Approximately 4000 cubic meters of rock was dislodged from a cliff face
and crashed through a barn and vineyards in Tramin in northern Italy on
21 January.
After bulldozing straight through the barn, one huge boulder came to a
rest close to another giant rock that had been dislodged in a previous rock slide. Another boulder stopped just feet from the main house.
Although no one was hurt, the area has now been evacuated as geologists fear there may be a chance of further rock falls.
