A large spectator stand of the Rome golf course that hosted last week's Ryder Cup was engulfed in flames on Thursday, firefighters said.
Images showed huge plumes of smoke rising from the Marco Simone club in the north-eastern suburb of Guidonia, where Europe regained the trophy they had lost to the United States at Whistling Straits in 2021.
Firefighters are tackling the blaze, which began at around 1730 (1530 GMT). The cause of the fire is still unclear, and no casualties have been reported.
