The Rome Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the death of a 27-year-old Italian young man in Barcelona on June 1, three days after being arrested in a shop near Portal de l’Angel. During the arrest, the young man suffered a cardiac episode that required medical attention and was taken to Hospital del Mar, where he died. The investigation in Barcelona concluded, after performing an autopsy on the body, that the young man — an Italian native of Florence, whose initials are S.S. — died due to multiorgan failure linked to amphetamine use. The Roman Prosecutor’s Office has ordered a second autopsy, the results of which are not yet known. The body was not transferred to Italy until this week and the funeral was held on Thursday.

It has been three weeks since the ground gave way at the back of the Verona pizzeria, on Teodora Lamadrid street in the upper area of Barcelona. Half of the affected neighbors, those who live closest to the sinkhole, still have not been able to return home, and this Friday, on the eve of August, they learned the news that some of them will not be able to do so at least until September due to the appearance of new “structural” cracks linked to the passage of the L9 metro tunnel boring machine heading towards Lesseps. Meanwhile, dump trucks of cement bags pile up around the Sant Gervasi market to continue covering the enormous hole of the restaurant, beneath which runs one of the streams descending from Collserola.

The municipal market of La Boqueria in Barcelona recorded around eleven million visitors between January and June 2026 at its main entrances, with a peak of two million visits throughout the month of May. These data show the decrease in visitors to this unique facility, a decline mainly caused by the works on La Rambla. The truth is that these works made access to this market very difficult. During 2024, the facility in the Raval neighborhood had around 25 million visitors, and last year it did not exceed 23.5 million. The latest recorded data do not foresee a return to normality in the coming months. The government of Mayor Jaume Collboni trusts that this long-awaited renovation will be completed by mid-February next year.
