A grandfather was crushed to death by thousands of wheels of his own cheese
Mr Chiapparini and his son Tiziano went to the warehouse to check the cheese after a machine that cleans them sent out an alarm.
Borto Ghislotti told NBC: "Tiziano told me he heard a massive noise, he turned around and saw his father buried under thousands of cheese wheels. He knows that if he got out seconds later, he would be dead too.”"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.
"We had to call the unit that specialises in the search and rescue of people under the rubble, especially after an earthquake. They spent hours moving the wheels by hand, one by one, and found his body only in the morning."Mr Ghislotti said he could not understand how the freak accident took place. He said: "Something like this has never happened, even during the earthquake in Emilia Romagna in 2012. Thousands of wheels fell back then due to the tremors but nobody got killed."
Investigators are now looking into Mr Chiapparini's death to get a better idea of why the shelf collapsed.
