Italy wedding hall floor collapses, dozens injured

The floor of a hall at a centuries-old building in Tuscany collapsed as dozens of people danced at a wedding, injuring 30 people.

Eugenio Giani, leader of Italy's Tuscany region, said the incident happened on the evening of January 13 during a wedding held at a 15th-century building in the city of Pistoia.

Part of the second floor suddenly collapsed while 60 guests were dancing, causing many to fall from a height of 5-6 meters. "Thirty people were injured, of whom five are in serious condition," Mr. Giani said.

More than 100 rescue workers, police and civil defense forces were deployed to assist the victims. Images from the scene showed a hole in the second floor floor, with debris covering the lower floors.

Local authorities are investigating the cause of the incident.
