Rome, 2 September. (LaPresse) – Two elderly people, a man and a woman aged 81 and 83, died in an explosion in a house in Via Cristoforo Colombo in Piano di Sorrento, near Naples. From an initial summary reconstruction, it appears that the explosion was caused by a gas leak. The resulting fire affected two other nearby houses, without causing serious damage. Carabinieri from the Sorrento company and the Piano di Sorrento station intervened at the scene. The military and fire brigade secured the area. Investigations coordinated by the Torre Annunziata Public Prosecutor's Office are ongoing.
