(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 17 - The authorities proclaimed Saturday a day of public morning in Florence and the Tuscan region after Friday's structural collapse at a supermarket under construction that has left four people confirmed dead and a fifth person missing feared dead and three more injured.
    Rescue workers are reportedly still trying to recover the body of the missing person.
    In Florence a minute of silence will be observed at 3 pm local time, when Mayor Dario Nardella will be present outside the city hall in Piazza della Signoria.
    Public transport operators Autolinee Toscane and Gest also said vehicles would be decked out in mourning and that the tramway would stop for a minute at 3 pm.
    Earlier in the day shops closed at 12 am for 15 minutes and employees stood outside in memory of the victims.
    "I don't remember such a serious workplace incident in our city, which is attentive to workers' rights," said Nardella after visiting the Esselunga supermarket construction site in Via dei Mariti.
    The sight of "the beams, these concrete blocks" made "very heavy impression", he added.
    The incident has put workplace safety in Italy back in the spotlight. (ANSA).
