Conegliano, a private wall of the ‘900 collapses in the path towards the castle

The owners will have to rebuild the enclosure that has sold. After the inspection by the technicians, both the path and the church of the Madonna della Neve remain open

CONEGLIANO. Suddenly about twenty meters of the dry stone wall in the pedestrian path of Calle Madonna della Neve gives way. The municipal technicians carried out an inspection and surveys, not highlighting particular dangers. So the passage has been delimited, but it remains open. No problems emerged for the church of the Madonna della Neve, cared for by the Alpine group Città di Conegliano. Sunday visits can continue regularly and without interruption.

It was the black feathers on Sunday that noticed that the stones had collapsed to the ground. The structure does not have a particular historical value, it dates back to the early twentieth century and, contrary to the rumors that circulated yesterday, it has nothing to do with the ancient Carraresi walls that had been restored thanks to an initiative of the Rotary club. The wall is in fact privately owned and the owners themselves must provide for the design and reconstruction.

“There were no signs, probably the push was from the inside out – explains the councilor for heritage, Claudio Toppan -. The causes are not known precisely, whether it was the roots of the plants or the atmospheric events over time, which caused the drywall to collapse. It is not a retaining wall, but it is like a simple fence ».
