Child left in a coma after cornice smashes

A 14-year-old boy has been left in a coma after a cornice from the Galleria Umberto in Naples, Italy, fell and hit him as he was walking below.

Salvatore Giordano was walking on Toledo Street - a road in the historic city centre - on Saturday evening with a group of friends when a fixture broke off from the building.

He was taken to the city's Loreto Mare Hospital, where he remains in a coma. It has been reported that the boy sustained head and lung injuries as a result of the accident.

Salvatore's family, from Marano, a town on the outskirts of Naples, have asked for privacy while the teenager is in hospital.

Police in Naples are investigating who was responsible for maintaining the cornice that collapsed.
