Palermo fear in Sferracavallo: large rock falls from cliff onto road

Last Updated: November 27, 2023

A large rock broke off from the rocky wall of Pizzo Manolfo and ended up on the road in Sferracavallo. A tragedy was narrowly avoided: at that moment no one was on the Calandra street, but the accident could have had more serious consequences. The photo of the large piece of rock quickly spread on social media, with residents of the area expressing their shock and concern about the potential danger to passing vehicles. The recent heavy rains are believed to have contributed to the rock’s collapse. The local fire department intervened to secure the area, and the president of the seventh district sent an urgent report to the civil protection agency, calling for a permanent solution to the danger posed by the unstable rocky wall.
