Italy's Lovers' Arch collapses after storms along the Adriatic coast
The iconic Lovers’ Arch at the Sant’Andrea sea stacks near Melendugno in Puglia collapsed after several days of heavy rain, strong winds and rough seas, underscoring ongoing coastal erosion and prompting warnings that more cliff sections could give way along the Adriatic coast; the event also deals a blow to local tourism that had long used the arch as a backdrop for proposals and photos.
