Giacomo Chiapparini was buried when a shelf broke in his warehouse in the Lombardy region on Sunday.
An Italian man has been crushed to death under thousands of wheels of a Parmesan-style cheese, authorities said.
Giacomo Chiapparini, 74, was buried when a shelf broke in his warehouse in the Lombardy region on Sunday, firefighter Antonion Dusi told AFP. The collapse created a domino effect bringing down thousands of wheels, which weigh about 40kg each.Some of the wheels reportedly fell about 10m and a local resident told Italian media the collapse sounded "like thunder".Speaking to Italian media, a neighbour described Mr Chiapparini as "very supportive… and generous". They also said he lost a child decades ago.
The warehouse, located in Romano di Lombardia, about 50km east of Milan, contained a total of 25,000 wheels of Grana Padano, a hard cheese which resembles Parmesan and is popular in Italy.
