About The Roof
Natale (Giorgio Listuzzi) and Luisa (Gabriella Pallotti) marry and move in with Natale's family. The young couple are soon at each others' throats when they're unable to get any privacy. Realizing they need their own house but lacking money, they decide to build a house for themselves on unclaimed land. The law states any building with a roof cannot be pulled down, so with the help of friends and family, the pair struggles to build a modest dwelling in one night before the police arrive. … MORE

Reading fire: Crane rescues worker next to burning high rise
By Katie WapleBBC News
A crane has rescued a worker from a roof close to a burning building.
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to a premises on Station Hill in Reading, which has since been cordoned off, at 11:40 GMT.
Video footage from Social Media shows a person being lifted by a crane from The Roof of a building, prompting applause from a crowd below.
The Blaze , which created a huge amount of black smoke, has now been put out by The Fire service.
South Central Ambulance Service said it has taken Two People to The Royal Berkshire Hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation, but neither case was severe.
Local residents and businesses are being urged to avoid the area, stay indoors and to keep windows closed.
Steve Reynolds works in a building 100 yards away from where The Fire started.
He Said : " I saw a Black Cloud go up and a ball of flames happen and all of a sudden I could see there was a guy trapped on The Corner .
" There were bits of glass falling off the side of The Building and he was completely exposed Up There .
" Then all of a sudden a crane came out from The Left with a carriage on it and they lowered it down… and he gets in and they pull him away.
" There was a massive cheer from all the workers on the ground. It was pretty terrifying. "
Peter, who runs a local café, said The Fire was " really quite dramatic - Thick billowing smoke and lots of flames".
" We immediately got rid of all our customers - That 's all we could think to do, " He Said .
Aaron, who was a bystander, said: " It's just The Most devastating thing I've seen in My Life . "
Redwood Consulting, on behalf of the Station Hill redevelopment project, said: " We activated our fire emergency plans immediately, The Emergency services were notified and are currently on site.
" The safety of those on site and the wider public is always our first priority, and The Site has been evacuated as a result. "
