Il Poggioreale Cemetery, after the ugly collapse that involved a building inside, it is still closed to visitors.
The collapse took place at the beginning of January and initially the closure was arranged until January 19, but the new provisions of the judicial authority provide for the extension of this closure.
Currently a new date for the reopening has not been communicated, so it is not yet possible to visit loved ones.

A few days after the collapse, the following telephone number was activated to request assistance:
