00:01Homes swaying in midair on the edge of a steep slope,
00:05a shocking scene left behind by a massive landslide
00:08that struck a town in central Sicily.
00:12From the heart of the area, the ground
00:14appears to have suddenly split open beneath people's feet.
00:20The violent storm that swept through the town
00:22turned the soil into a fragile mass,
00:25leaving residents at risk of losing their homes and possessions,
00:29especially houses located dangerously close to the cliff edge,
00:33where deep cracks now stretch across the ground
00:37like a silent warning of what may come next.
00:43Above the landslide zone,
00:45Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Malone carried out an aerial inspection
00:50to assess the scale of the damage.
00:53Following that visit, the Italian government declared
00:56a state of emergency in three southern regions,
00:59Sicily, Sardinia, and Calabria,
01:02as hundreds of residents were forced to evacuate their homes
01:06amid growing fears of further landslides
01:09that could reshape the scene at any moment.
