Both the cross and all of the surrounding structures are completely covered in ice as snow continues to fall on the mountain.

Large icicles can be seen sticking out from the cross in the Tuscan mountains and the metal structure used to support it.

Video taken on Wednesday shows that the interior of the structure was completely covered by ice as well.
