The remains of a northern Italian farm home is seen after a massive boulder tumbled down a mountain side and sailed straight through it.
They're on a roll.
Two massive boulders tore loose from an Italian mountain side before crushing one home and coming within mere feet of destroying a second.

The boulder is seen resting in a field behind the destroyed house. Just a few yards behind it another one, possibly from another incident, is seen.
Exactly one half of a rustic farm house near Bolzano was left destroyed, with the walls seen crumbled to dust and the roof in mere splinters.
A second boulder, even larger than the other, similarly slid down but managed to stop just a couple feet from a second home.

This property largely escaped undamaged, at least in comparison to the other home, after their boulder stopped just feet from smashing into its side. A car parked nearby was also destroyed.
Sadly a close up on the home reveals a great deal of damage, especially to a car that wasn't flattened but was destroyed from the boulder's powerful impact.
As Gizmodo points out, the boulder attacks don't appear to be the first upon the area.

A Facebook page has been created in hopes of raising money for the owners of this property, who allegedly lost their farming equipment as well. A tractor can be seen toppled in the ruins.
Just yards behind where one boulder stopped after sailing through the house, another massive rock can be seen, however with the land around it appearing untouched and overgrown.
A Facebook page has since been set up to collect donations for the residents of the crushed home in the village of Ronci Termeno.
The page's creator, responding to a question on possible insurance, states that the farm's agricultural equipment was also destroyed making it impossible for them to work.
