Explosion in via Macedonia in Collegno
Date of the event:
During the night of 9 November 2026, at around 4am, an improvised explosive device (bomba carta) goes off in the entrance hall of a building at number 25 via Macedonia, in Collegno. The explosion makes all six flats in the building uninhabitable, causing extensive damage, without injuring anyone.[1][2][3]
What happened
According to the first reconstruction, the device was placed inside the entrance hall, after which someone closed the main door. The blast, which went from the inside outwards, leaves no doubt about the deliberate nature of the act.[1][2] A ground-floor resident, whose flat was among the most damaged, says the front door of his home ended up against the fridge.[1][2]
Theories
Among residents there is a suspicion that it could be a settling of scores linked to some people living in the building who, after the explosion, are nowhere to be found.[1][2][3] The investigation is being carried out by the Carabinieri of the Rivoli company, with the support of the Collegno municipal police.[2][3]
The response
Firefighters from the Grugliasco Allamano and Torino Centrale stations responded on site, together with the fire investigation unit of the provincial command.[1][2][3] The mayor of Collegno, Matteo Cavallone, says he has been in contact with the police and municipal offices since 5am, to ensure assistance to residents through the Civil Protection department.[1][2]
