A police officer stands by a gate of the Santa Croce Basilica after a 52-year-old tourist from Spain was killed by falling masonry, in Florence, Italy, Thursday, Oct. 18, 2017. The tourist, who was visiting the church with his wife, was struck in the head by a decorative element that dropped from a height of some 20 meters in one of the aisles of the Basilica of Santa Croce, one of the Renaissance city’s top tourist attractions, where such Italian luminaries as Michelangelo, Galileo Galilei and Niccolo Machiavelli are buried.
