Overview
- Firefighters responded around 2:40 p.m. Saturday after a woman fell into an unmarked well in Rome’s Parco della Pace.
- She halted her plunge by grabbing a beam about 15 meters down, which kept her alive until help arrived.
- A specialist SAF unit, trained for rope and confined‑space rescues, lifted her out in about an hour.
- Medics treated hypothermia caused by water in the shaft and took her to San Camillo hospital in codice rosso, Italy’s urgent intake status.
- Police secured the area as investigators prepare to review the lack of warnings, and local leaders called for accountability over the hazard in the recently reopened park.
