Rome: More than 1,000 people were evacuated in Sicily after a four-kilometre (2.5-mile) section of cliff crumbled during a storm, leaving houses perched perilously on the edge, authorities said on Monday.
Land was continuing to give way due to rain that has soaked the area in recent days, said the mayor of the southern hill town of Niscemi.
No deaths or injuries have been reported following the landslide, which took place on Sunday.
"The situation continues to worsen because further collapses have been recorded," mayor Massimiliano Conti told local news on Monday.
Footage taken on Monday by the Local Team video agency showed a narrow vertical section of cliff falling away, causing a building that had already been ripped apart to further collapse.
