In a devastating incident that shook Italy’s Lombardy region, Giacomo Chiapparini, a revered 75-year-old dairy owner, met a tragic end when he was engulfed by an avalanche of massive cheese wheels. Operating a prominent cheese factory, Chiapparini’s fate took a grim turn as a shelf collapse triggered a cascade of 40kg Grana Padano cheese wheels.

Thousands of these wheels tumbled, entombing Chiapparini within his own warehouse. Despite the valiant efforts of rescue teams over 12 grueling hours, Chiapparini couldn’t be saved from the weighty debris. The incident not only claimed a life but also left a $11.7 million wake of destruction, encompassing the lost cheese inventory and the shattered facility.
