A pedestrian walkway in a housing project in the Italian city of Naples has collapsed, killing two people and injuring a dozen others, Italian media reported on Tuesday.
The collapse overnight involved an extended family, killing a 29-year-old male and a 35-year-old woman, news agency ANSA reported.
