Tragedy this morning on a construction site in the mountain house of the Minister of Justice, Marta Cartabia . A foreign worker of about 40 died after being crushed by a beam while he was engaged in some construction work on the building.

"I am shocked and distraught by what I have just learned - the words of Cartabia -: a worker died in a very serious accident at work this morning on the construction site of my mountain house in Ollomont , a small town in the Aosta Valley . have recently informed, I am deeply disturbed ".

Cartabia, who usually spend the summer holidays in the house, expressed "first of all pain" and "personal closeness to the victim's family. Then she turned to the mayor of the small Valle d'Aosta town, David Vevey , declaring himself" a participant in the disturbance of the whole local community, deeply marked by this grave mourning ".

"I trust that the authorities will soon be able to reconstruct the entire dynamics of the facts", he later specified.

The carabinieri have already sealed the construction site and, as part of the investigation by the Aosta prosecutor for manslaughter, have also seized the small mechanical shovel outside the garage. In fact, it needs to be clarified whether the bucket may have played a role in moving the beam which then hit the worker.
