A 102-year-old Italian woman survived unscathed a fall from the fourth floor of her Turin retirement home, Italian newspapers said.

Elisa Levi leaned over the railing of a fourth-storey balcony to observe repairs being made in the courtyard when she lost her balance and plunged to the ground, the La Stampa daily said.

Her fall was broken by a plastic playground house destined for a neighboring preschool that had been temporarily placed alongside the building by the workers.
