Landslide on provincial road 187 between Giaveno and Trana
Date of the event:
On 12 November 2026, in the late afternoon, a landslide with falling rocks hits provincial road 187 between Giaveno and Trana, in Val Sangone, in the stretch running through the hamlet (frazione) of San Bernardino. The landslide involves three passing cars, at around 5.15-5.30pm, without causing any injuries. Sources attribute the landslide to rain that fell throughout the day [1][2].
The rescue operation
Firefighters from the Giaveno station, the local police of the municipalities of Giaveno and Trana, the Carabinieri from the Giaveno station and volunteers of Giaveno's civil protection emergency association respond to the scene, working on traffic management and keeping watch over the area [1]. Road recovery staff and volunteers of the AEOPC Giaveno association, active in civil protection and monitoring across the municipality, also take part [2].
Clearing the debris and reopening
Road maintenance workers (cantonieri) of the Metropolitan City of Turin, helped by an excavator and a backhoe loader, work to clear the roadway of debris fallen from the slope. Traffic is completely blocked for about a quarter of an hour during the excavator's operations. Once checks are complete, the road reopens that evening [1][2].
