Cheesemaker Giacomo Chiapparini, 74, was buried by thousands wheels of Grana Padano, a Parmesan-style hard cheese popular in Italy, according to reports.
Italian cheesemaker Giacomo Chiapparini, 74, died after he was crushed by thousands of wheels of cheese while working in his factory's warehouse Sunday in Italy, according to reports. An Italian man died when he was crushed by thousands of wheels of cheese at his warehouse on Sunday, authorities said.
The incident happened when a shelf broke in his factory’s warehouse, which holds a total of 25,000 wheels of cheese. Each cheese wheel weighed about 20kg, or nearly 90 pounds.“When we got there, the whole warehouse was full of cheese wheels on top of one another,” said Daniele Retto, a spokesperson for the local fire brigade department, according to. “We had to call the unit that specializes in the search and rescue of people under the rubble, especially after an earthquake.
“Tiziano told me he heard a massive noise, he turned around and saw his father buried under thousands of cheese wheels,” Ghislotti told NBC News. “He knows that if he got out seconds later, he would be dead too.” If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
