Wind and rain uprooted a large tree on the pedestrian pavement of viale Anton Dohrn, immediately beside the Villa Comunale, on 15 November 2026, according to Il Mattino. The roots tore up the planting-area curbs and lifted sections of the paving.

The canopy blocked much of the pedestrian passage. Firefighters and municipal technicians were expected to cut up the trunk, clear the passage and restore safe conditions, according to Il Mattino.

The fall happened during wider severe weather affecting Naples and other parts of Campania. The same episode damaged a tree near the Maschio Angioino and affected infrastructure in central Naples, according to Il Mattino.
