albero di magnolia

The spot called Albero di Magnolia records the collapse of a large magnolia tree in Sanremo. It stood in a hotel garden.

The old tree fell from the garden onto an adjacent street, disrupting vehicles and public infrastructure. Parked cars, scooters and a van suffered damage.

The fall also damaged trolleybus overhead cables, a water pipe and a glass window across the street. Electricity to the cables was cut during the operation.

Fire brigade and municipal police secured the area and coordinated the removal of the fallen tree. Chainsaws helped crews remove branches and the trunk.

The street remained blocked while teams cleared hazards and restored safe passage. Repairs included work on the asphalt and damaged public services.

The record describes the magnolia as centuries old and part of Sanremo’s urban landscape. Its story shows how mature greenery can stand beside roads, buildings and city systems.

Albero di Magnolia therefore marks a local incident involving nature, transport and infrastructure. The event also reflects the care required when old trees occupy busy urban spaces.
